Vista x64 screws up my partition convention

So have 1st partiton (universally known as C: ) with Windows XP, primary OS, hence on start of the drive(s) (RAID array).
Then D: [DATA] for Documents, mp3 and what not, everything that is "here to stay"
and E is partition allocated for Vista.


Now x64 installer can't be ran from 32-bit Windows, so I have to do boot CD, and then vista gives itself C:, gives D: to WinXP (1st partition), and E: to [DATA]... or second partiton.

for yrs I had DATA on D...

Any way to prevent vista installer from breaking up my convention?
Or I will have to move [DATA] to 3rd partition, so it is E: on both systems?
 
You can just rename all the partitions(other than the system partition) once you have Vista installed.

system and boot partition... WinXP partition is boot partition, so it can't be renamed either, thus both C: and D: are populated => nothing can be done.
