Once you make any change to array say "bye bye" to it! This is why the quesion of seeing two separate logical drives or set ad an array was asked. When in a dual boot configuration with a second version of Windows then you can see the D drive with the other if installed a second drive changed from D to E,F,G,H, or another letter on the alphabet train there.
For doing that however the letter of any optical already using thet letter would have to be changed first. If C was XP and the present H was seeing Vista or vice versa D for an optical drive would be changed to E, F, G, for the present H to see D in Vista in XP's Disk Management. You can't reassign the drive while you are running the copy of Windows presently on it at the time.
That is seen when each drive is a separate logical drive and not a single primary stretched across two in an array. Any ide hard drvies will then be seen as default by the Windows installer. But to see XP is being on the H drive you have to be booting up frrom another drive with an OS or boot loader there. Wherever Windows loads from it's always seeing itself as the C drive.
