HDD letter change??

I know how via "Disk Management" but XP won't let me.

2 HDDs. 1 SATA and 1 IDE.
I had win 2000 on an IDE HDD and I just installed win XP on the new HDD (finally).
When it boots I get the 33 second boot choice of 2000 or XP (I have lowered that to 3 seconds).

Problem is the new HDD and OS are drive letter: "D", the old is "C", and one is "system" and the other "boot" so the option of switching them is not there.
I get the pop-up message that you cannot change drive letters of either a system or boot drive.

Is this even an issue?
Will it affect software installs?
Would a change affect current programs?
Should I just leave the new drive at "D"?

Also, how can I remove the OS choice window at boot-up?

Thanks again
 
You're messing around with your disks to much...
anyway do you want to remove your windows 2000? There's no point in removing the os choice window at boot up if you don't want to.

Why would you want to change your driver letter? who cares... it doesn't matter if your os is on partition d or c.
