Need to switch drive letters

Somehow through an accident trying to move data from a PATA drive and a SATA drive, my drive letters swapped. I believe that the SATA was reassigned D because the system initially tried booting to the PATA drive, and it being a new motherboard, caused windows to crash. Since device management will not let me reassign a currently mounted partition, is there any trick to go about this? I was hoping for a 1 minute fix, not reinstalling a new OS.

Any suggestions?
 
That is the only thing I can trace to this machine taking two steps past forever to boot.
 
So the machine will no longer boot because you changed the system drive letter?

I don't think Windows XP lets you make major changes to the hardware like that. Older versions did, but with XP you may have to reinstall.

I had trouble when swapping motherboards.
