Switching system partition letters in vista

Sevorak

I just used a GParted boot cd to resize the partitions on my hard drive. Everything worked fine, except now my System partition and my Games partition have switched letters and this is causing all kinds of path errors. Previously my System drive partition C: and Games was , but now they're reversed. I can't switch them while windows is running because my computer management screen is hosed due to the path errors and diskpart won't let me reassign system drives (for obvious reasons). Is there any way I can reassign the drive letters without reinstalling vista?

I don't know how it is in Vista but in XP you would go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management -> Context Menu

In the context menu there's an option to change drive letters.

I'm not sure if they carried that over to Vista but I can't imagine why they wouldn't.

No, even if you could get into disk management, which you're saying you can't, Vista won't let you change the drive letter of the system partition. There may be a way outside of Vista, but I don't know what it would be.
