It is possible to change the drive letter of your boot drive, but it also
brings with it a lot of problems. Here is a link that tells how to do this:

I have done this before, but it is not always worth the trouble! Note that
if you make a true image of your boot disk onto the new drive, then you can
replace the old drive with the new one (physically remove the old one) and
the new drive should boot as drive C: and all SHOULD be well. Good luck.

I want to make the new, faster, larger-cache drive as my boot drive but
prefer not to re-install Windows and all of my programs. Here is what I am
assuming I can do, but want a reality check or advice to the contrary if I
have this all wrong :(

If I make an image of the current C: partition on Drive 1, say with Norton
Ghost or similar (advice as to which program to use is welcome please!) can
I simply transfer the image to the new HD, which I assume as soon as I plug
it in will be assigned by the OS to have a drive letter that is not C:
(let's call it X: for now).
