Change drive letter for Windows 2003 Server boot disk

I just installed Windows 2003 server on a Dell 840 server with a SAS5 controller with a mirrored pair of 250gig drives as the disk volume.  When completed, everything was fine EXCEPT the drive letter assigned was F, and Windows wo't let me change that because it is a boot/system volume.  Can someone tell me how to change this drive letter assignment back tot he expected C:?  Levaing it as F will cause lots of confusion now and int the future, I'm afraid.  Thanks in advance for your help!

The only real option is to re-install - make sure you disconnect all external drives before re-installing
Also use the Dell OpenManage DVD that came with the server when re-installing the OS.
Reinstall it and make sure that during reinstallation that none of the devices is using your C: drive letter. Otherwise you will get the same trouble.
