Reallocate Hard Disk Name

Last response: in Storage

Hi, Can someone help advise me as I haven't done any desktop support since DOS days!

I've been reading this forum and have discovered that my USB flash drives won't work because the F: drive mapping has already been allocated (to one of my 2 hard disk drives) when the machine was built. What I need to know is how can I reallocate the hard disk drive currently allocated to F: to another drive mapping (G: is spare)? Is this a straightforward renaming/remapping task or do I have to completely reinstall the hard disk?

Thx, J

Its fairly straight foward. Go to Start Run: type diskmgmt.msc to bring up disk manager. from there you can right click your drive and select Change Drive letter and path.

As long as there are no links to the drive you want to remap, it is a simple process (as described in several posts above).

If you've installed a program from that drive, it will probably need to be uninstalled / re-installed to function cleanly.
