1. Leaving off the side of the case destroys the air flow
provided by the case and power supply fans. Then,
except for the CPU (which I presume has a direct
cooling fan) you are depending on convection and IR
radiation to cool the components, unless you have
a separate fan directed so it circulates air over
the components, though you do get less heat buildup
in the interior. Which is better depends on the details,
but in general if the case/fans are designed well, better
cooling will occur if the cover is on unless you take
extra steps.

2. Drive space 3 can relabel partitions in Win 95, but
it takes some tinkering to do it (you can specify no
compression, but there are other penalties). You can't
just relabel anything to anything; I'm not
sure you could actually solve the problem you had.

Otherwise, you've already discovered the gist of what
happens. Win 95 itself doesn't support partition relettering.

I don't recommend using drive space for partition relettering;
it just happens there are limited ways to use it for
that purpose.

When you make the new drive the master (assuming you make
your current master the slave without reformatting),
your current D will become C, C will become D, and E will
remain E (because it will still be the second partion on
a drive; the first partition on each drive gets a letter before
any additional partitions get one).
