Here is a screenshot: http://

When I go to remove the letter, I right click on the system reserved, click on change drive letter and paths, then click remove. It then gives me all of these messages that tell me that this could cause problems for other programs and such. Is this what I am supposed to do?

Remove the drive letter.
