Ok I just brought up a "new" 20 gig drive for my wife, she's running windows 98. I initially partitioned/formatted the drive at home on my machine with Win2k. Now I can see the drives just fine, the problem is it messed up the drive letters!! Right now it goes

C: HD1
D: HD2
E: HD1
F: HD1
G: HD1
H: HD2
I: HD2
J: HD2

HD1 = 6 gig drive
HD2 = 20 gig drive.

Can't repartition at the time, so would like to avoid re-fdisk'ing just to fix some stupid letters.
So how can I fix the letters fairly easily in Win98? Don't have 2k's disk management so thats not really an option.

any ideas?
