How do you rename your external disk drives in XP?

Question

HI, when i set my computer up and added a few external disk drives, xp labled them F,G,I ect.. Since then I needed to use a camera card and the order of the drives was altered by Windows. So the computer now calls the F drive H, the H drive G and so on. This is problematic since the host programs I use thinks that the F drive is still F (even though it is now called G) and then cannot find the program. In certain cases the program doesn't allow me to find and link the files I need, making the program useless. I would like to restore the order of my drives . How do I do this?

Answer 1

Click Start and then right click My Computer.
Click Manage.
When the Computer Management window opens, click Disk Management on the left.
Here is where you can view all the drives and have the ability to change drive letters.
In the upper right window, right click the drive you wish to change and click Change drive letters.


Hope this helps
