Right :-(

At your own risk, you can use dskprobe.exe from the NT resource kit to
repair the partition table, by shuffling the entries into the desired
order. Make a copy of the sector, before writing it back. This procedure
may not work when you actually run a system from that disk, because then
the disk is locked against low-level access. Afterwards you may have to
edit boot.ini, to reflect the new numbering.
