Right-click on My Computer, select Manage, and then Disk Management. From there you can change drive letters.

Data paths to items on what is now E: may not work after renaming the drives. Another way to do it is with Partition Magic which has Drive Mapping as a feature. Drive Mapping will reassign all the proper file paths after the drives are renamed.
