It will work fine the way it is, so it may not be worth formatting, unless
it really irritates you.

Re: Wrong drive letter assigned to boot drive at install
& at a guess it did it because you had a Zip drive installed when youinstalled windows?
A lesson for anybody out there listening.
Best to only have a floppy & CD hooked up & even disconnect any other hard
disks as well just for fun.
