Install Question Win XP

Drapper

I've installed WIn XP Pro on a new system. My OS from the previuos instal had the boot directory as C: in the windows menu.

Since the install it is reading the boot directory as E: and it is till the same HDD as the previuos OS (C: ).

Question, when I try to change it to C: it does not allow me as as there is another disk with C: (my Mp3 drive previously E: ) drive.

Question how do I change the C: to E: and E: to C:

Computer managment wont let me :-(

Cant be done easily, Partition Magic might do it problem with assigning letters to hard drives is it messes up paths.
