Should I be placing each on it's own drive letter? Don't use the procedure that's described in this article to change a drive on a computer where the drive letter hasn't changed. If you do so, you may not be able to start your operating system. Follow the procedure that's described in this article only to recover from a drive letter change, not to change an existing computer drive to something else. Back up your registry keys before you make this change. This article describes how to change the system or boot drive letter.
Usually it isn't recommended, especially if the drive letter is the same as when Windows was installed. The only time that you may want to do so is when the drive letters get changed without any user intervention.
It may happen when you break a mirror volume or there's a drive configuration change. This situation should be a rare occurrence, and you should change the drive letters back to match the initial installation.
