Alright heres the problem. I relabeled my hard drives in Windows2k but when I boot to my DOS partition they still show as there old drive letters. Any suggestions on how to change the letters in DOS to match what they are in Windows.

You can't. The drive letters are automatically assigned by the order of the drives on the IDE channel(s) and the order of partitions on the drive(s). Logical drives within primary partions come first. I got around the problem of adding a second HD without b*******g up the existing drive letters by NOT allocating a primary partition on the new drive, just an extended one. That way the new drive was added at the end of the sequence.
