    Have you got a multi-card reader in the system ?

    If so pull it and re-install Windows that will set it to C: as those card readers will grab whatever drive letters are free with C: unfortunately being the first one they go for if it isn't already assigned to something.

    If that doesn't work unplug all other drives bar the DVD drive and the HD you want to be C: and re-install Windows be sure to format/remove any existing partition on the drive as well.

    {of course back up all your data before doing any of this}

    Start - Run - compmgmt.msc - Drive Management - Right click on your Windows drive and change the letter.
