HD and CD drive letters

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I've just installed a second hard drive on my machine and noticed that
the new HD is listed as E: Dive and the CD Rom is still listed as D:
Drive.

Is there some way that I can have D: as my second drive and E: as the
CD Rom?

Disk Management is the applet designed to do this.

Go to Start/Help, type in
disk management
and click on "Using Disk Management."

To swap "D" and "E" you will have to
- rename "D" as "F" or any letter but "E"
- rename "E" as "D"
- rename "F" as "E"

You may want to consider creating more than one partition (volume, or
named space) on that new hard disk. In that case, perhaps your CD drive
should be a letter higher than E. (Letters do not have to be used in
sequence; you can have C, D, E, F, L, Z.)
