164029 2003-07-30 13:06:00 I have recently bought a new computer running XP with a 120g hard drive... I got the technician from the shop where I bought it from to partition the hard drive for me into 3 sections....

I was just wondering if there was an easy painless way to change the drive letter of the hard drives and cd roms. Ie... I would like to change one of the hard drive letters which is currently F: to the letter D: which is currently the cd-rom....

Will changing the drive letters cause any conflicts if so are there any ways to avoid problems....

I would appreciate any helpful advice....

Mantis.

The answer is hidden away in the FAQ's. Have a read here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)

I don't think you'll be needing partition magic for your setup, so just use the inbuilt windows method. Let us know how you get on. :)

Then move on down to Disk management the right click on the drive or partition you want to change and click the change drive letter and paths. Odin (227)
