Some how my drive letters D:& E: got switched. I was wondering if any one has any tips or tricks on how to get them back to the right place?

If we're talking about 2K or XP, you can simply change them in Disk Management.
Right click on MY computer, Manage, Disk Management. You'll have to move D: to a higher letter to allow E: to be changed to D:, then move the other one to E:

For the record, this same Disk Management thing also allows USB drives and such that somehow don't get letters to have one.
Also, it lets you mount an NTFS partition in an empty folder on another NTFS partition. For all those who like UNIX. I do!
