Lone HD is H:?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just installed WXP PRO on a solo SATA HD and it is labeled H: instead of
C:. C-G are my 5-in-1 card reader and CD-ROM. Some of my software is not
installing because they refuse to load the install files anywhere other
than on C:. Is there an easy way to change this (Right click-Manage does
not allow me to change the drive letter), or do I need to disconnect my
5-in-1 and reinstall. Another option is to split the HD and create a small
10gb C: drive just to allow these programs to install. What do you
suggest? Thanks.
