As you've found out, you can change the drive letter of any drive except for your boot drive easily. Changing the letter of the boot drive is more complex, and invloves editing the registry. I would strongly recommend that you DO NOT attempt to do this, as i've never had it work 100% sucessfully. Worst case, your computer will not boot. Best case, you'll end up with a few minor glitches that are probably more annoying than what you have now. The only exception is the case which Microsoft recommends doing it in, if your drive letter has spontaneously changed.

If you want to try, here is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;Q223188, but again I don't recommend it.
