When my son put in my new hard drive after taking the old one out it came up as F drive instead of C drive.?

All my programs now are under F. If I change the F to C will I lose everything?

Are you using two hard disks presently. Then what you are saying is possible since C: drive is the first partition of the old hard disk and D & E drive are your two optical drives (that you are probably using) and F is this first partition of the new hard disk. Otherwise this question doesnot make any sense.
