Try disk management - just suggested it to someone so that they could recognize a new drive

control panel> administrative tools>computer management

disk management appears to the left under storage

Concur with badgtx1969

first - change DVD (E) to Drive H (temp.)
- change USB (F) to I (again temporary)

Change sata drive to E

Last - Ren DVD(H) back to F
- Ren USB(I) back to Drive G

I've done this several times under XP

Edeted - May need to reboot after Changing F -> I (under step 1)

Be careful if you already have game installed. Some programs does not like drives being move. otherwise if you try to updates it will ask you to insert CD from the old drive location. unless you know how tho change the registry. which I don't think you do.

Remember which drive letter it came from that way you'll be able to revert the settings back to where it was you the system ask.
