Vista & Win 7 Dual drive disk issue...

Brace yourself because this is going to be confusing:

OK so I made a new disk drive from unallocated memory (130gb) for Win 7 ultimate 64bit which I bought recently so now I have dual boot along with vista home premium 64bit. I have 3 disks, C (vista), D (data) and E (supposed to be win7). After I installed Win 7 on E drive, whenever I boot up Win 7, E turns into C... and when I boot with vista, its all normal again but booting up with win 7 makes C (vista) into D (vista) and makes D (data) into E (data)... is anyone with me?

So far I'm amazed there's been no program with any path conflicts yet...

When Vista is installed it will automatically assume it is being instal;led to the C drive. Keep in mid the drive letters only exist within the OS, at the hardware level drive letters are not used - they are a windows thing :) see if this helps http://www.vista4beginners.com/Change-drive-letters-dual-boot-configuration

It is reassigning the drive letters in the correct order. Did the link above help any with renaming the drives?
