Reassigning Drive Letters

Tutorial, Windows 3 December 2009 | Comments

I have at least three hard disks to manage on my table. And sometimes when i unplug one and plug in another one the drive letters for the hard disks gets a bit mixed up or swapped for another drive letter. This messes up files when i open them especially if i was editing something and the program can’t read it from the destination it was edited from. Even more annoying is when my songs can’t be located on Itunes. >.<

So for those of you who don’t want that headache. Here i’m going to show how to reassign your letters. By the way I’m doing this on Windows Vista.

Step 1.

Go to your start Icon and head on to Computer > Manage

Step 2

Once you have the Computer Management Window up. Click on Storage> Disk Management. Let it load.

Step 3

You will then see all your hard disk volumes and their stats.

Step 4

Right click on the Disk you want to change the letter for.

Step 5

Select the letter u want. Click Ok. And if there is another pop up window just click ok. They will state something that this will affect your certain applications or something like that. It’s fine, just click ok. :)

I know this is easy peasy stuff for some, but some may not know on how to do it. I forget how to do it myself too sometimes. Hope it does lessen someone’s headache. :)
