How does Vista decide which partition is made the system partition?

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Let me explain. I have 3 drives... There are 4 primary partitions:
C -Vista is installed on this drive. In Disk Management, it is my D
partition that is marked as the system partition. I would like to change the
letter of this partition but cannot for this reason.
Any help would be appreciated.

I previously had XP installed on what is now the E drive. The D drive has
only ever been used to store music and stuff on.

The system partition is a disk's active primary partition. During
Windows installation, setup is supposed to determine from the BIOS
which disk is set to be booted from, and it's in that disk's active
primary partition that Windows boot files are stored, which makes it
the system partition.
