    This ones rather easy. Move your page file to the C: drive. (Control Panel, Performance Information and Tools, Advanced Tools, Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.)

    Under Advanced, click on Change.... Click on the C drive and make it System managed size. Click Set. Make sure all the other drives are set to None. After you OK your way out, you may have to reboot.

    Now, you can change your drive letters. You can also go back and reset the pagefile. Note, by the way, that changing your drive letters, could cause some programs that look for the drive letters (including anything installed on the drives) to fail.

    Disk Management is the tool to use to assign or reassign "drive" letters - except for the System Partition and Boot Volume. The only way to change those is to run Setup, which means to reinstall Vista (or WinXP). When we boot from the DVD to run Setup, it has no idea what letters have been assigned in the past.
