I am a complete novice so no long and complicated terms please! I think I
need to change the order of my drives as everything is being installed in my
E drive as well as my C drive and it is just absolutely full so that my
Norton is unable to install upgrades and I can't even download any photos off
my digital camera! An idiot proof step by step guide would be much
appreciated! - I'm on XP.

As I can see, you need to change your CD and DVD drive to be the last in
order.
Whit this I mean you have to setup with "eks. driveimage" that you will have
the HDD`s as nr. 1 and 2, and the optical drives "CD and DVD" as nr. 3 and 4.
In order to set the optical drives, you have to decide, which of the 2 drive
you use to instal from.
Normal is to set the drive as last in nr. " eks. Z " and then HDD C as 1 ..

Try admin tools, computer management, disk management, left click on the
drive to change it's lettering

You can reassign non-system, non-boot partition drive letters in Disk
Management
Start|Run|diskmgmt.msc

"Windows cannot modify the drive letter of your
system volume or boot volume" - what on earth is that supposed to mean?

You can't change the C drive. You can change the other drives. Change the
CD drive.

You cannot reassign system or boot partition drive letters. You'll need to
reinstall the operating system to do so. Most programs will default to
installing to %programfiles% but you should almost always have the choice to
change this during the application installation.

From a command prompt;

echo %programfiles%

to see what it resolves to.

What is a command prompt?

- You cannot change the drive letter of windows partition.
When you are changing drive letters, right click on D Drive > Change drive
letters and paths > Change button > Choose Z
Then right click on your E drive > Change drive letters and paths > Change
button > Choose D

- Click Start > Run
Type "%programfiles%" (with quotes) > Now what is the path in address bar
