I can't even run windows to modify windows, so that option is out. I need a bootable floppy that runs software that lets me change the drive letters or boot manager. Uhg, driving me nutts, running around naked
kidding on that last part.
Or partion magic or other like tool . Hows about barts boot cd ?

bart's boot cd doesn't let you change the drive letters.
I took the HD out and hooked it up slave into another computer here. Running it in windows now. I'm useing a downloaded version of partitionmagic 8 and it appears the Windows Partition was swaped with the storage partition I made awhile back. Windows is Logical, Storage is Primary! I can't seem to figure out how the hell this happend. It was always the other way around. It would take atleast 5 hours to complete such a process. Anyways, I'm swapping them back..gonna take about 3 hours to complete the speed it's going. :-(
not sure but editing boot.ini might be a way to boot from D:\
