when you go to the boot mode it gives you the option which HD you want as primary and which one as secondary

I Know how to change the drive letter of your Hard Drive if that is what your trying to do.

Start > Control Panel > Administriative Tools > Computer Managment
Then under storage, click disk managment, right click on the hard drive and then Change drive letter and paths
