While you can't truly switch disk drive assignments, probably the easiest
solution to your problem is to use ASSIGN X Y, where X while be assigned or 
addressed as drive Y.  In your case, you will want to ASSIGN B A.  From now
on (until you correct this) every time you will try to access drive A, the
light on your drive B will come on.

I hope this helps...
