Can I change hard drive letters in Windows NT?

I am working with a Pentium II computer that has one hard drive with two partitions (drive letters C and D). The CD-ROM drive is drive E. I just added a 6GB mAXTOR hard drive to the system, slaved off of the original HARD DRIVE. I used Maxtor's Powermax software to set this up. It says it installed successfully so I reboot the computer. The computer boots fine and I go into My Computer. Here I find that the C drive is still the C drive, but the original D drive is now the F drive. The new 6GB hard drive is now the D drive. This has somehow screwed up a lot of my applications. e.g. when I open a Word document it tells me it cannot locate winword.exe. I think it is looking for it on the D drive when it now resides on the F drive. Is it possible for me to switch the drive letters from within Windows NT to fix this problem?

Been a while for NT.

Should be a disk manager in your control panel, probably under administrative tools.

You should be able to assign it permanently there.

In 2000pro you do it in disk manager, right click on the drive and there is an option thats like change letter or something. Click it and then reassign it.
