Drive letters get swapped in windows 7?!

OK, i got a strange one fellas. My partition drive letters get swapped in windows 7, although the information on the partition doesn't get affected. I got dual OS, xp and 7.

XP>7
C > E, D > C, E > D

Windows will call whatever the boot partition is the C drive. If you are running XP, the XP partition will be C, and if you are running 7, the 7 partition will be C.

Not true. When I ran the RC of 7, my Windows 7 Boot partition was "M", like it's supposed to be.
