I have gone through this a number of times. The solution to your problem
should be in this article on the Microsoft website:

Basically, what happens is that each physical drive is assigned an ID by the
OS. This ID is then linked by XP to a particular drive letter. Just moving
the files to the new drive does not change this letter assignment. The
letter is still linked to the drive ID which is apparently part of the drive
formatting, or rather the partitioning. Fortunately, it is not too difficult
to go through the patch of the registry as described in the article. Of
course, use great care when changing the registry values.

Have XP Pro.  Recently installed new 320GB WD IDE hard drive (replacement
for a replacement!)  as slave D:.  Imaged  boot drive C: (200GB WD) to the
new drive using Norton Ghost. Each drive has a single NTFS basic partition.
Changed bios to boot from D:  Since C: has only 10GB of space left, want to
make the 320GB drive new C: and the 200GB drive new D: for use as Ghost
back-up.  What do I need to do in order to accomplish this?  Do I need to
reverse the master/slave connectors on the IDE cable?  Could I rename
current C: to, say G:, rename current D: to C: and then rename G: to D:?
All suggestions/advice greatly appreciated.
