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).

PS: I know this is related to Windows configuration but I am hoping many
people here use dual boot machines so would know how drive letter change
affects Linux.
