Another drive letter question

I'm thinking I will setup a dual boot system like this:

IDE 0 = C: = Win98 = FAT 32
IDE 1 = D: = Drive for backing up in removable slot = FAT32
Raid array partition = E = Win 2000 = NTFS
Raid array partition = F = Programs = NTFS

Here is the question:
If I manually force partitions on the Raid array to drive letters E and F as described in the FAQ's, what will happen in Windows 2000 when I remove the backup drive D:? Will the RAID partitions become D and E or will they hold their drive letters? I want to be able to remove the backup drive for safekeeping and keep my drive assignments the same.

Will Win 2000 allow you to skip a drive letter and leave a placeholder? Or can you only switch drive letters around as long as they are sequential?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I am running windows 2000 and I have drive letters all spaced out - not sequentially. if you don't mind me asking, why are you running Windows98? Have you ever ran Windows 2000 or XP before?
 
I'm running win98 because I've built about 2 dozen machines for friends and family, most on win98 and I need to be able to reference it when they call me asking how to do something.
