Say "Bad WINDOWS!" and smack the computer on the nose.

ok...I have no idea. I had this same issue a while ago because I foolishly made a second primary partition on another HD and windows wound up being the G drive. I just re-installed. I don't think there's a way to change the drive letter of the boot partition....but I might be wrong.

 
I had the same thing happen to me. Installed it on the F drive by accident and couldn't figure out how to undo things so I just reinstalled on C. There may be a way to fix this though...hopefully someone will know.
 
generally you're not able to change the drive letter of the boot or system drives. you'll have to reinstall if you want it to go to the C: drive
 
Windows doesn't allow you to change the boot drive letter but something like the disk management software found on Hiren's Boot CD, among others, supposedly will though i've never done it myself.
 
Leaving the drive as I: won't really create any problems. Most software installs look to see where Windows is installed and default to the same drive letter; for those that don't, it's usually a simple enough matter to change the path before installation.

We have several Windows 2000 Servers at work the boot off of the T: drive with U: as a data drive (specialty situation), but they've been working fine for years with a variety of software installed, both Microsoft and non-Microsoft. 🙂
