I'm having some problems. I guess I wouldn't post in the NG otherwise. :)

I've got a disk with two partitions, lets call them 1 and 2. Partition 1 is 15 GB, partition 2 is 60 GB. Partition 1 is reserved for my system and partition 2 for data. Partition 2 right now holds a little over 40 GB of data.

The problem: Windows-setup persists in labelling them D and C respectively. The disk-manager as we all know can't change drive-letters of partitions on the system-disk. I want partition 1 to be C and partition 2 to be D. How do I accomplish this without the loss of any data on partition 2 and without a secondary disk to back that data up to? This question hinges of course on the possibility that it even is possible without a secondary disk.
