which OS?

In Win98 just got to your Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager (tab)
Select the drives you wanna change & to what letter.

I forget in WinNT, i dont think was hard though.
In Win2K i have never tried...sorry

In NT you need to go to "disk administrator" and right click on whatever partition and click on "select drive letter" or something similar.

In Win2k go to computer management then down to "disk administrator", rest is similar to NT.

Have to move stuff around in 9x... hide partitions or remove them. DOS letters as it letters. Primary partitions on all drive first, then extended partitions.

Yeah, you can't do it. The master drive partition on an IDE connector HAS to be C: and the primary partition on the slave HAS to be D:.

That being said, it may still be possible with the old time dos program subst.exe Ask your friends for a copy.
