I'm not sure how Windows decided that the original drive was E: and the

new drive on the old OS, it was then that the C letter was assigned. Is
it possible that they are just using a label in the partition table? If
not where is Windows equivalent of /etc/fstab?

you really should be asking in a Windows forum-- or at least Google
for the answer, but this is sorts related to Linux ----

boot.ini is where you probably should be looking.

At boot time "C" and "E" and whatnot do not exist.
