Smile Config MoBo so that SATA HD is C: and PATA HD is D:

In my computer, I have 2 harddrives. One 160GB SATA, and another 80GB PATA. In Win XP setup, XP sees the 80GB (Primary Slave) as the C: and the 160GB (Fourth Master) as D:. How can I make it so the 160GB is C: and the 80GB is D:? Thanks!

-Andrew
BTW: MoBo: Asus P5P800-VM

If XP is on the PATA drive, you probably would need to do a fresh XP install with only the SATA drive connected. After XP is running, Then connect the PATA back into the system.
