Changing drive letters

Long story, here's the short version.
Computer crashed due to virus infection. Could not clean it, tossed the HD, installed new HD, installed Win XP SP 2 from original CD, installed Internet Explorer 7 from upgrade CD, installed all other applications from their original CD's, seems to work fine -- EXCEPT -- I have three problems, two of which likely are related.
1. Where do I find Outlook Express? I have Internet Explorer 7 but can't find OE.
2. This problem probably is connected with #3. When I look at my computer in Windows Explorer, I find that the internal hard drive, instead of being drive C is now drive I. My computer has several slots to insert media -- SD, micro SD, CF, and the like -- these are designated C, F, G, and H. DVD-RW drive is D, CD drive is E, and the hard drive is I.
3. When the computer boots, I get an error message: "No disc found. Insert disc in drive. (Retry) (Cancel) (Continue)." I hit Continue, the message pops up again, hit Continue, do this 4-5 times, and the computer boots and operates. I suspect the boot routine is looking for something on drive C, does not find it because the drive with all the applications is now drive I; system gives an error message, I tell it to continue, and it does.
How do I change the drive designation from I to C ??? If I do this, will it screw up the applications that I installed before I noticed the hard drive was I instead of C? That is, all my apps are now installed on the hard drive which is designated I -- if I change that drive to C, will the computer know where to find my apps?
Thanks.
