I KNOW I solved this a long time back, and forgot it.  I had 2 hard
drives, the first one partitioned, C, D, and E.  After some struggle,
I got the second hard drive to line up nicely as F.

Now, I replaced the second hard drive with a larger one, and sure
enough, it jumped right in and took D, thereby bouncing the partitions
up one letter, and screwing up about 4gb of applications and data.

There IS a way, I just don't remember.  I've tried different
combinations of HD jumpers, as 'secondary master', 'primary slave',
and 'secondary master', but the second HD always comes up as D.

Was it fdisk I used before?
