Administrative Tools ... Computer Management ... Disk Management
You can Right click the partition and Change Drive letter.

Be aware this may break any application that uses those letters explicitly
and it you change the letter of the drive that has your operating system on
it - that too may cause problems.

Mike, it won't let you change the drive letter of the boot or system drive.
