So windows XP messed up my drive lettering

[Astray]

And labeled my system drive as "D" with my storage drive as "C".

What can I do to switch the drive mappings without having to reformat again?

Result of Searching AnandTech for this issue.

As someone who has had this happen, I recommend re-installing the OS and being more careful about the drives that are connected to the PC during a Windows XP installation. This is one of those mistakes that you only make once (or twice).

Re-installing XP now is REALLY easy. But if you peform a "fix" and install all your applications and data and THEN find you have a problem, you will have wasted a LOT more time.

Or, just live with the new drive letters. It doesn't cause any real problems.

Maybe not for you, but I have quite a few prograsm that will only isntall on the C: drive and I cannot be using my storage drive to do this.
