Reply: (edit)What you are proposing is probably not a good idea. A lot of programs/OS run based on the drive letter they were installed to. You run a very high risk of bringing your whole system down with neither OS working.

Reply: (edit)MR is right- If you shuffle the drives about, 9x will happily accommodate you, and your boot drive will appear in Explorer as C: with monotonous regularity. NT is not like this. Drive F: will remain drive F: come hell or high water to preserve namespace consistency. How'd you like them apples?
