Haqrd drive took on Letter F

I re-installed the operating system in a computer that had 2 CD-Rom drives (one a DVD burner), a Zip drive and a floppy drive.   After loading all the other applications I noticed that the hard drive took on the letter "F" instead of "C".   I have heard that a Zip drive can cause this.   Are there any reprocutions that will be caused by this?   Can I go into Computer Management and change the letters around without having to re-install the whole system?

It will work . . for the most part . . but some programs may not allow installation on F:  You cannot easily change the drive letter for the boot drive. . The easiest way to fix this is to reinstall with the zip drive disconnected . .
