After a recent call to microsoft to resolve an unrelated SCCM issue we were having, all our windows installations are installing to the d: drive, which is bad.
I have went through the task sequence, and verified that I have entered c for the variables needed.
1) In the partition step, I entered c as a variable to assign
2) In the Apply Operating System step I choose Destination -> Specific logical drive letter and Drive Letter -> C:
Neither of these seemed to fix it.

This is because you are 'applying' Windows Install Media as an Operating System Image instead of using Setup (i.e. applying as a Operating System Install Source).
Even though Windows Vista/7/2008 source are captured as a WIM, you must either install using setup, or install using setup and capture your own custom WIM before deploying via SCCM OSD
So just import the OS as an Operting System Install Source and try again, you should be fine.
I'm not sure what you need me to elaborate on.
If you are talking about wanting to do deploy a standard Windows Vista build (i.e. not a custom captured image), then instead of importing the Vista install.WIM into "Operating System Images", import the whole Operating System source into "Operating System Install Packages", and in the task sequence selected "Apply operating system from an original installation source" instead of "Apply operating system from a captured image"
If you use install.wim from the source, you will always end up with Vista installed on the "D:" drive.
Is that what you where after?

To be perfectly honest with you, I would pass this back to MS under your previous incident ticket. If we try and make amendments here you could cause issues for something else... If their recommended changes have put you into this position then their work is not finished.
Sounds like a cop-out I know but sometimes it is the best solution.
