Choosing drive letters

[Guest Janetb]

Is there a way to choose which devices get which drive letters? My Smartmedia

cardreader was unplugged when I installed a new external hard drive for

backup, and the new HD took the G:/ which I am used to having as the

cardreader drive. How can I make the card reader G:/ and the new ext hard

drive I:/ (I already have another external hard drive H:/ for all my

personal data).

Thanks for the help!

Re: Choosing drive letters

 

Right click "My Computer" and select manage, in the left pane select disk

management, you can change drive letters there.

Re: Choosing drive letters

 

Right click on My Computer, select Manage, then under the Storage option

select Disk Management.

 

Now in the right hand pane right click on the Drive or partition that you

want to

and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Then click the Change button and pick a letter from the pull down list.

Re: Choosing drive letters

 

Janetb,

 

Although the Right-click MY COMPUTER | MANAGE | DISK MANAGEMENT will work for

now, XP has a bug with this. What I used to do is fix a letter like Z, which

won't be used usually...
