How to switch partitions - D: shows first in Disk Management
Last response: in Storage
Windows 7 Desktop running great - new install. Somewhere in the process, the second partition was labeled as the boot drive, C: . In Disk Management, it shows D: as the first partition, which is just a data partition with little on it, then C: which is the boot partition. It runs fine, but I think somewhere down the road this might cause a problem; even if not, I'd like to correct this.

I downloaded Easeus Partition Manager Free Edition and it has options to move the C over to the beginning ( I deleted D![:)]( ":)")
, and then I can create the D partition to the right as the second partition. Cool tool
