Reassigning Windows Drive Letters
K7IA:
hmm, lets hope Paragon HDM didn't alter the registry as well during the drive letter changes.
A bootable cd with any tool that is able to alter the drive letters should do the trick imo.
good luck

If you can get Windows booting again, you can reassign drive letters in Computer Management. For XP, go to control panel > administrative tools > computer management. If you're using Vista or 7, just search for Computer Management in the start menu.
Click Storage > Disk Management. Right click the drive/partition you want to change, and click "Change drive letter and Paths..." If another drive already has the letter you want, you'll need to change it to something else first, so you may have to play musical chairs with them to get everything in order.
K7IA:
^ you can not change the drive letter of a partition that is set as boot/system drive.
drive letters need to be change before windows boot. if possible the os should not even be let to run/boot before this change imo.

Shouldn't Windows automatically call it's boot drive C:\? I can't say I've ever seen it any other way.

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