IDE hard drives renamed SCSI + more trouble

[DragonPyro]

I have two hard drives, my Maxtor (taken from my old computer where it was used as a secondary hard drive) is slaved to my Western Digital. Windows XP installs and boots from my WD, but it labels it E: and labels the Maxtor C: I find this very annoying and tried to change it but XP said it could not change the label of my boot hard drive. But I could change the label of the Maxtor from C: to any unused letter. How can I fix it so that the WD hard drive is labeled C: ? I am thinking I will have to disconnect the Maxtor, format the WD and start totally from scratch (minus the Maxtor) THEN, when windows is installed, add the Maxtor. Will this cause XP to assign the WD drive to C: ? because there is no other drive to receive that letter. I have an LS-120 drive slaved to my cd-rw drive on the other ide channel.

CPU: P4 2.26

Thanks a lot!

Oh, neither of these drives are SCSI. I went into device manager soon after installing XP, went to drives, double clicked one of the hard drives. That brings up a screen with tabs at the top. I clicked the label: "SCSI Properties" and it instantly re-identified all my drives as SCSI devices. I cancelled all the way out of device manager but XP still thinks they are SCSI devices (even the cd-rw and LS-120). They work normally though except for messed up drive letters.

That was long, thanks for reading (skimming) it!

If you're using 80 wire udma ribbons,how are the devices jumpered and how are they connected on the ribbon?
The proper setup for the hard drives would be to jumper both devices to CS(cable select) and the master would go into black end of ribbon(blue end goes to motherboard) and the gray middle connector denotes slave.
If you're using that type of ribbon with the other devices,the same applies.
If you're using round cables,they are more than likely 80 wire udma cables.
