![[image loading]](http://www.woot.com/Images/Sale/Western_Digital_Raptor_10-2c000_RPM_80GB_SATA_Hard_Drive_Q0Z-detail.jpg) Notice in the bottom right that one little white jumper. That is the HDD controller in a way. the way it is set up is so that you can change that primary and slave controllers. For more information on that just grab your get your HDD and enter in the model number to google to find out which is the primary and secondary controller. The main HDD should be the primary while the second needs to be in the secondary to ensure it runs off the main. | ||

Double-click Computer Management, and then click Disk Management in the left pane. Right-click the drive, the partition, the logical drive, or the volume that you want to assign a drive letter to, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths. this might help I think ... depends if I read your question right http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307844&sd=tech | ||

Currently there is are 40, 120, and 250 gig hard drives installed so I'd like to make the 120 the new OS drive and swap the 40 for the 200 I've got sitting around. So I'm just looking to do this in the least troublesome fashion. | ||
