Ferrari assigning wrong drive letter

I can't find anyting about this on the Acer website, but when I put in my new 7200 RPM drive, my Ferrari 3200 assigned it to Drive E, with Drive C being the SD/etc. drive, and Drive D being the DVD drive.

I can't find anywhere in the BIOS to tweak this.

Anyone?

With most other PCs, that's common. You should be able to disable the card reader in the BIOS while you're installing Windows. After that's completely done, re-enable the card reader and Windows should assign it letters after everything else by default.

Edit: They're probably connected via a USB header, btw. So that may be what you will need to disable.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management

You can change/reassign drive letters there to whatever you want. I'm not sure how it works if you change the primary boot partition's letter, but I doubt it would make any difference since all the booting is done long before Windows assigns letters

Or, that could work if you've already got it installed.

Won't let you do it for the boot partition.
