| 193226 | 2003-11-20 04:55:00 | Hi. I just bought a new computer, installed xp and went to partition my hard drive with partition magic pro 7.0. All went well and i could seperate my hard drive of 40gb into two. The problem in however one drive is recognized as C: and the other is E:. this is because my DVDROM is the D: drive. The assigning a new drive letter works with partition magic in that is allows me to change E: to any letter apart from D: I cant seem to be able to re letter my DVD to another letter thus letting me make E: to D: Does anyone know how i can change the drive letter of my DVDROM? I know this sounds all muddled but any help would be great! |

Select the drive you want to change and right click and select the Change Drive Letter and Paths. You may have to rename D to F, Then E to D which should get your drives back in line and then rename F to E. |
