Re:Go to Start Menu->Administrative Tools->Computer Management, and then click on Disk Management under storage. Right click on your current C: drive, and select "change drive letter and path". Click the c: entry and change it to the first available drive letter. Now do the same thing with your d: drive, but change it to c:. Now you can change the first drive to d: (or whatever you want).
This is assuming that you actually got Windows correctly installed on to your "main" drive, and that it didn't somehow end up on your "backup" drive.

Re:Are you running 9x/ME? If so, those MUST be on a "C:" (in quotes) drive. What happens (I ran into this myself a few months ago), if they're somehow sitting on a 2nd drive that you would assume would be "D:", then a drive letter swap will happen within fdisk whereby the "D:" or 2nd drive's partition (where they are installed), becomes the "active" partition, and will thus show up as a "C:" drive – again conforming to that "C:" requirement. NT/2K/XP don't have this issue.
I know the above sounds nuts but that's sortof what happens…
