My Computer Is Booting From The Wrong Drive

When I start up I get that stupid 3 stage file check on my H Drive (not the one windows XP is installed to). And looking at the boot.ini in the H drive it says 'partition 2' or something like that which I'm relatively sure is H. I want it to boot from C, how do I change this?
