Changing device designation

[Guest speedy_mike]

I have XP. I want to change a DVD drive designation from F: to Z:. How can

I do that?

 

Thank you in advance.

Use the Windows XP built-in Disk Management Utility. To start the

utility enter Diskmgmt.msc in the Start Menu Run box.

Do that, but be aware that if you use ZoneAlarm there seems to be a

problem using 'Z'. Don't know why, it just doesn't stick.

Another good reason to get rid of Zone Alarm.
