I have copied two smaller disks (each with several
partitions) onto a much larger disk with the same number of
total partitions and am trying to achieve the same drive
letter assignment on the new disk and I am having trouble
assigning the boot disk letter. I have gotten all but two
partitions correctly asigned but one of the remaining two
is the boot disk and Disk Management won't let me change a
boot disk. How do I accomplish the reassignment of a boot
partition's drive letter?

Thanks.

So your boot disk is different than it was before. If so you should have
booted with some errors in Windows 2000. This article tells how to
change drive letters. But only change it if the drive letter is
different than what Windows 2000 was installed to.

You don't.
