See earlier answers. There is no problem in changing drive letters. However,
cable select might hinder it but then I never use cable select.
Your SATA drive I presume is your boot drive and might have other partitions.
Boot drive is always C unless using some obscure OS.
The other drive can be changed (letter assignments only) by control panel -
maintenence etc as in my previous post.
