Win XP/SATA Drive/C:Drive

This totally confuses me. I have detected a failing IDE drive (C: drive '0', primary IDE master). I have now cloned this drive to a new SATA drive (as a boot drive), currently drive No 4 in my system and it has the drive letter T to keep it clear of other partitions. XP is NOT installed on the C: Drive but on a D:drive and boots via boot.ini

It is probably blindingly obvious, but since I do need to remove the failing IDE C: drive at some point, how do I tell the system that the new SATA Drive 4 is to be the new C Drive or is the only option to replace the IDE C drive with a cloned IDE?
