H:\ isn't the common boot drive letter for winxp ,C: is ,as it is with most OS's you install ,so win7 was told to format and install so it did the normal thing and used the default drive letter c:\

Well, not every OS. Windows, DOS and OS/2 are the only ones. Linux/Unix systems dont use that method of naming.

Oh, Windows7 decided to re-organize the driver letters as it sees fit.
