You cannot change the drive letter in Windows 98. Drive letters are allocated by Windows each and every time the computer boots in a set order. Primary partitions first followed by extended partitions and then removable drives.
Swapping cables around wont achieve much except perhaps stop your computer from booting altogether.
Really depends on if drive D and/or E are bootable partitions. You didn’t provide enough information. If both drive D: and E: are optical drives (as many times they are), then that is simple to do. If drive D: and/or E: is hard disk drive or partition residing on hard disk drive, then not so easy.
Open the Device Manager.
Click the plus sign next to CD-ROM or DVD/CD-ROM drives.
Double-click the drive whose letter you’d like to change.
Click the Settings tab.
Where the computer lists the Start and end drive letter, make your selection and then click OK.
