Is the main hard drive in XP always the C drive?

I recently made a copy of my hard disk and I'm not sure if I'm booting from my new drive. I didn't change any of the jumper settings on the hard drive, I only changed the boot order in the bios.

The only difference I noticed (since it was an exact copy) was that my new hd swapped drive letters with my old hd and became the C drive.

I can't get inside the computer at the moment to unplug one of the drives manually...

No not always, however windows prefers to be C. Windows being anything other than C can cause a lot of problems.
