I am attempting to do some long distance computer support for my sister. The drive on her win7 machine is dying. Rather than buying a new drive I am going to send her a drive from my parts box. I am going to send her a DVD to re-install win7 on this replacement drive. I am going to format this drive and run disc check before sending it on to her. When I put the drive in an external enclosure to format it, my machine tells me the drive must be allocated. This process gives me the option to assign a drive letter or not. In her machine it will be the C drive. Should I not assign a letter and let her machine recognize it as the system drive?
