Are you replacing the "server" computer or a workstation that accesses the
"server"? If you are adding a workstation you need to map a drive. Go to
Start -> Help and Support and type in "map drive".

Hi,

Start/run dsikmgmt.msc. Right click the "D" drive, there is an option to
change the drive letter here. However, it may be that the person who set it
up initially used drive mapping on the attached users to designate the drive
letter they got when accessing it. That is done either per machine, or
through a logon script (domain).
