This can be done but it's tricky. You do this through disk manager. First
you need to free the C: drive designation by assigning some other letter to
it. You then reboot. Once C: is available, you can change your F: (boot)
disk to be C:. It will prompt you that the change will only take effect
after a reboot, but that is ok. The BIG problem is that all of your boot
configurations have been set to point to the F: disk! To fix this part, you
will need to hack the registry - search for every instance of a reference to
the F: drive and change it to point to C:. I have done it before, but don't
recommend it unless you are really motivated. It will work, but it takes a
lot of work to do it!
