I used Partition Magic to split up my HD into smaller portions. However, the partion got put after my DVD drive. I have a HD in C, a DVD drive in D, and another HD in E.
How do I switch the DVD drive letter to come after all the HDs (either with partition magic or in windows xp). I want the DVD drive to be E. Thanks.

go to control panel/administrative tools/ computer management/disk management (under storage) there right click on the partition or drive and select change drive path and letter First change the letter of the partition to F:, then reboot the computer to make E: available, then change the letter of the DVD to E:, reboot and finally change the letter of the partition to D: and reboot.....you are all set.
The idea is to switch one driver to an unused letter and make the swith of the other one to the desire letter.
