My Win 8.1 is installed on SSD (120gb) ... and other D: (Western Digital 1TB) is being used as storage for installed programs, Documents, Desktop, Temp, Google Earth Data etc folders....

Now few days back my D: developed bad sectors... I ran chkdsk /r and repaired and reallocated bad sectors, now I hv to RMA this hdd but before that I bought an SSHD ( ST1000DX001) and cloned D: to that....
Now that is is cloned and showing the cloned drive as G: ..... Now I want swap drive G: to D: .... if I do it via disk management and I change D: to some say T: it will produce many errors for a few seconds untill G: is changed to D:

I need smthing that change the drive letters before boot (via registry or smthng)... plz suggest smthng that solve my purpose
