How to change, assign and remove drive letters on computers running Windows XP or Windows 2000

Run Disk Management, for this:
Click Control Panel > Click Performance and Maintenance > click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > and in left panel click Disk Management
Or right click on My Computer and select Manage and then select Disk Management.

In right panel right click your drive and select “Change Drive Letter and Path”.
To change: in dialog box click change and finally change the letters assigned to your drive.
To add: click add and browse for drive path
To remove: click remove, windows will display a warning message, click ok to continue.

Yes! You are my savior! I have been waiting 4 months to put in my new drive, and you are basically the last puzzle piece. Great tutorial.

Computer managemnt is also useful for creating NTFS and FAT32 partitions. Better and easier than PM8 for that!

You can do it, even any partition program, like Partition magic, this programs is so usefull at the time to work with hard disk, even the most easy things, like formatting or changin letter, use them they are more powerfull that the ""toys"" that brings Microsoft

How To Change, Assign And Remove Drive Letters

My system ONLY shows drive F: in the management panel.  My machine has two hard drives with the primary Master as C: the primary slave partitioned as D: an E:  the DVD drive as F: then the USB drive as H:  It is the USB drive I need to re-letter as G: which is how the network recognizes it.  My main question is why are none of my hard drives or USB drives shown on the management list?
