Lets say you install XP,
Insert your CD into your CD-ROM and boot from it.
Once the installation has finished loading you will be presented with a menu from whom you can choose onto witch drive to install windows.
Don't install windows but instead press D to delete the highlighted partition and then you will be presented with a confirmation paragraph witch you will have to press S to confirm (note.. this is only for the boot partition normally "c", you will not have the confirmation when you delete other non-primary partitions) and once the primary is deleted do the same for the next one "D".
Next you will have to create 17 partitions using your total disk space divided by 17, to do this highlight your free space and then just press "C" and specify the amount of disk space you would like to use and press enter so for example if you have 250GB you would make 17 partitons of 14.7GB.
Once this is done, partially install windows onto your "S" partition, once the files are done copying from installation prep screen and reboots, load windows xp install from your CD to get the installation menu again.
Next, delete all partitions and create a new one with all of the available space and it will be automatically assigned the letter "T" since settings was pre loaded into memory that your boot disk was "S".
But if you know a bit about prompts commands you could delete your two partitions then create a new one, take down the drive letter and press F3. At the command prompt type:
diskpart
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
list volume
Make note of the number of the simple volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
At the DISKPART prompt, type:
select volume n
Select the volume, where n is the volume's number, whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
At the DISKPART prompt, type one of the following:
assign letter=T
Where T is the drive letter you want to assign or change.
remove letter=T
Where T is the drive letter you want to remove.
Then reload your windows installation and install.
Much simpler this way if you know what you are doing ;)
