    On a given dual boot machine, Windowx XP and Debain (or any Linux for
    that matter) and booting using Grub, what effect would changing a drive
    letter in Windows have on the partition table, if any? I am just trying
    to verify it won't mess with my Debian installation. All I want to do is
    interchange D: and E: driver letters for two partitions (for sharing
    data between Windows and Linux in an inituitive way -- mainly for non
    techie users).

    ->HS
    PS: Perhaps this is semi-OT, but I don't expect anybody in Windows
    groups to be familiar with Linux, fstab and grub.
