Changing Primary/Boot Drive Drive Letter

When I upgraded to Win XP and installed a larger HD, I left my old HD (designated 
C) installed.  My new primary, on which XP was installed, was assigned drive letter 
F.  I want my primary/boot drive designated C.  The disk management wizard lets me 
change the secondary HD from C to something else (e.g., H), but it won't let me reassign 
the drive letter for my primary.  

How can I get around this?  Does the static assignment feature prevent this even 
if I completely disconnect the old HD?  Can I change from static to dynamic drive 
letter assignment?  Would this make a work-around possible?

Harry
