I have 4 drives 2 hdd's and 2 cdroms

Yesterday i reinstalled windows. I deleted my NTFS partition and let win2k reinstal by partitioning in NTFS my other hdd is fat32. Now my back hdd is drive C: and my windows is drive F:

any one know how i can change around my drive letter to get them back to normal? will partition magic do it?

or can i just unplug my backup drive which is now c: and boot up with it unpluged and hope windows reasigns it c:?

I know, but i need to change the windows drive letter........

You can't have 2 drives with the same letter even while moving letters around. To switch F: with c:, make the C into G. Then make F into C. Finally, make G into F and you have your drive letters all nice and pretty.
 
I tried that and lost my pagefile or something like that then windows wouldn't boot.......I just reinstalled again and unplugged my backup drive
