It depends what paths in Windows you wish to change. If you mean to move a running version of Windows to another hard drive on the same machine, then it will be VERY difficult, since MANY path references would be affected. Here are some of the places where paths are specified.

1. There is boot.ini or the new BCD stuff that requires a special editing tool.

2. Then there are the paths in the control panel under System and Advanced, then Environment variables.

3. However, most of the paths are in the system registry. You could manually change everything there, but you might want to export the registry, use software to patch the text version, then import it back, preferably within console mode if you can figure out how to do it that way.


The best bet would be to reinstall Windows.

What is a path?

Your path is a list of all the directories that your system will search for by default. For example, in Windows if you enter calc.exe in your "Run" menu, the OS will search all directories in its %PATH% variable and ultimately find C:/Windows/System32/calc.exe
