How to change drive letter of active/boot partition
Have multi-booting setup on my laptop at home, but i want to change "D:" in
vista to be S drive, though I can't because it is marked as a boot drive/the
active drive
Re: How to change drive letter of active/boot partition
Just to clarify, Vista is running on C, but the D is also marked as
active/boot (may be both, or one/the other, at work, can't check now)

Hi Pete,
Simply put: you can't. The drive letter assigned to either the system or
boot drives cannot be altered. In most systems these are the same drive
(commonly C, but in multiboot situations they frequently are two separate
volumes such as you have encountered. D: is the active volume and houses the
boot files, changing the assigned letter would render the system unbootable.
