Default "C" and "D" drives switched after reinstalling XP

I reinstalled XP and my hard drive letters are now
switched. "D" is now the main drive and "C" is only
8MB. Everything is running ok except that all Windows
updates are downloaded to "C", which doesn't have the
room to take SP!. How can I either redirect the
downloads to "D" or switch the drive letters?

Change Drive Letters:

Start - Run - compmgmt.msc
Expand the Storage node, click on 'Disk Management'.
OR
Right click My Computer, choose Manage, and click on 'Disk Management"

Select the drive you want to change the letter of, right click it, and
select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'.

I sugegst you wipe the drive and start from scratch again.
