Drive letters after removing 2nd HDD?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I do not know if the letters may change by default when you remove one disk,
but whatever happens you can reset them later. Go to start-programs-Admin
tools-Computer management-Storage-disk management then right click any disk
in the bottom right segment of the window to get an option to change the
drive letter.
