How to Run a Server With No Drive C -- Still Urgent!

I asked this question earlier, but I apparently asked it wrong, so let me
try it another way...

How can I install a Windows 2003 server such that it does NOT have a drive
letter C at all? I want Windows to run entirely from a different drive
letter such as H, where H is the system drive and the boot drive, and drive
letter C does not exist at all.

Hello Eric,

Use fdisk to create your partitions before, but you are limited to 2gb. Old
DOS program. Or create smaller parts just to get rid of the c: letter and
start with another drive letter.

Best regards

Thanks for your suggestion, but that will not work. I will be able to
install Windows on another partition, but the C drive will still exist, and
it will not be possible to map a drive letter to drive C. :-(
