Need smart/flexible disk drive remapping utility

In my work, I'm frequently swapping hard drives in and out
of the same PC, which has three "cold-swap" disk drawers
that I installed. All drives run on the IDE subsystem, and
a CD-ROM occupies the 4th IDE channel.

What really causes problems for me is that Win95
insists on assigning drive letters first to *all* primary
partitions, no matter which drive they are on, then it
starts assiging letters to logical drives within extended
partitions.

I need the flexibility to dynamically and quickly remap
drive letters, because tomorrow I might be using two
different disk drives in the computer!

Has anybody seen a utility that will at boot time (preferably by
using a simple config file) let me remap drive letters?

The config file would conceptually look like:

Drive 0, Partition 0 = C:
Drive 0, Partition 1, Logical Partition 0 = D:
Drive 1, Partition 0 = E:
etc...

Thanks!
