Changing the system disk after install




I have recently installed a clean copy of XP onto a machine with 2 hard
drives, one is the C: drive with 2 other partitons D: & E:

The 2nd hard drive is completly blank and just formatted. The problem is
windows has installed on the C: Drive, but the 2nd hard drive is listed as
the system disk in the device manager and C: is the boot drive.

when I boot with recovery coucel and try to fixmbr it states that windows is
installed on F:\windows (Which is the 2nd hard drive).

Any ideas on how to change the "system drive" to the C:\ (boot) drive?
