Odd Win2000 Drive letters

I previously had a dual-boot installation on two drives:

HD0: C: Win98
E: Storage

HD1: D: Win2000


After copying all partitions to a new 40G drive, copying them in the correct order (C: D: E🙂, I find the C: and D: drive letters have been switched in Win2k (fine in Win98). I now have this:

C: Storage
D: Win2000
E: CDROM Drive
F: Win98/ boot drive

Repair process did not correct this. I cannot change boot drive letter in Disk manager. Any other solution, or should I just try a full reinstall? Not sure how that will go since I have SP 1 on.



 
thats because whatever drive that boots win2000, win2000 will see as the "C" Drive. I have 12 HDs and win2000 is on the "N" drive. Win98 sees it as "N" but when I actually boot to win2000 it becomes the "C". Its annoying but you get used to it. I dont know how or if you can change that. I just live with it.
 
Actually my win2000 drive has always shown up as D: in win2k. My boot drive has always shown up before as C: (as makes sense). Why the boot drive, which used to be C: now appears as F:, right between two CDROM drives E: and G: is pretty wierd

I use Partition magic 6.0
