| 695112 | 2008-08-05 22:26:00 | This drive was showing as drive I: on my system. Curious as to why my backups were not current I found that is now showing as drive J:. Nothing shows with the letter I: and I have no idea how this drive renamed itself. How can I change it back to the previous setting? |

| 695114 | 2008-08-05 22:33:00 | Yep, although sometimes you get drive letters between C and I (for example) that get used once, and then aren't used for anything. If you want to change drive letters, go to Control Panel, Administrative tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. Do bear in mind if you change a drive letter, and any software is linking something to that letter, there is the potential for stuff to get rather messed up. ;) |
