Default Drive Letter Problem

I recently installed Leopard OSx86 in my machine. It made Leopard's partition active and Darwin's Bootloader was the one that booted. I then choose Windows to boot and Windows tells me my User profile is corrupted and i will boot in a temp profile... after this there's nothing i can do... nothing works as it should... i can't open regedit... neither most of the programs... i have just been able to open firefox, notepad, and halo and directly from their respective directories as it doesn't work with shortcuts... i can also run command prompt but not with administrative priviliges... i just noticed that my vista partition is now drive letter D: instead of C:... my leopard partition is the C: now... i pretty much believe this is the problem... i can't change the drive letter because i can't open the computer administration thing... i can't make a new user... is there a way to change drive letters from the windows installation disc or something?

If your drives are not partitions but actually different disks then it is possible to remap your drives in Grub which should provide the same result. Could you post output of 'sudo fdisk -l' here so I can try to give you the right entry for Grub?
EDIT2= I just found a way to do it from the windows installation disk... it was useless the windows installation disc detected my system partition as C: as it is supposed to be... maybe it was not a good idea to install macdrive before installing os x
