Restored 2600 using ghost but the new drive is not booting up as C

​ Hi, ​
​ ​
​ I have a PowerEdge 2600 server. I initially installed Windows 2003 on 40GB Raid-1 drive. I setup 4GB for C drive and 36gb for E drive and CD as D drive. We soon found out that 4gb system partition (C) drive was too small. I moved all I could to E drive but still Windows/Symantec wants to write to C drive. ​
​ ​
​ I finally bought two 140gb drives from Dell and installed the drives in the system. I used Norton Ghost to save image of C drive to E drive partition. I successfully restored that image to my new 140gb Raid-1 hard drive. The problem is that when the system boots up the system drive is F (140gb drive) and the old C (4gb) and E (36gb) drives are still listed. If I change/delete the drive letter for C then after the reboot I can't logon because it seems like Windows is still reading from C drive. ​
​ ​
​ How Come? What else do I need to do to make my new drive as C drive so I can save data from E drive to new C drive then format the old C drive and put it back as 40gb E drive? ​
​ ​
​ Thank you, ​
​ Sandip ​
