More than one answer really but assuming you wouldn't want to use NT or wonder about the reliability of a small utility here is a practical way :
Use Drivespace3 (if not using FAT32) and use nocompression and start giving driveletters from Z to C. Since you can assign driveletters in drivespace you could use one unique for each of partitions.
