I am sorry, may be I didn't understand your question. Practically any drive letter can be assigned as a boot drive.

I'm saying as far as I've ever seen, Windows doesn't care what order the drives are actually in, and it will just assign whatever drive/partition it is assigned to as C:\. I could be totally wrong, but I can't say I've ever seen Windows call the drive it was installed to anything but C:\.

So I've discovered that my boot drive is actually supposed to be S:. It's one of the silly things that Lenovo does with their computers. Boot stuff is in S:, Windows is installed in C:.
I'll do some more fiddling around when I get home. For now, Japanese exam D:

I gave up and restored my computer to factory default settings. I've lost everything, but at least windows works :/

That sucks. You couldn't have at least booted from a Linux live CD and copied your stuff onto an external drive before blowing it away?
