This weekend I installed Windows server 2003 on a clean machine with no other
data on the drives. After the installation I turned on the external firewire
drive I plan to use for backups and allowed the drivers to install normally.
Over the last few days I've had some problems with the external drive and my
backup software and went to format the drive to try to start over. It was at
this point that I noticed under the Disk Manager that while my internal C: is
listed as (Boot), the external E: is shown as (System). Well no wonder I
can't format it...

How did my external drive wind up as the system volume, and how can I move
this back to C: where it belongs? Is it possible to do without rebuilding the
entire server yet again?
