Right click on My Computer and select Manage.

On the next screen, select Disk Management.

The drive should appear on the right hand side of the screen. You can right
click on it and reassign the drive letter.

As long as it is not the one where Windows lives (that is impracticable
to change), Control Panel - Admin Tools - Computer Management, select
Disk Management and look lower right for the graphic of the drive.
R-click a partition and 'change drive letter'

This won't change registry settings. One reason OS/2 was slow is that all you
had to do to move software around was to drag it.

Partition Magic includes a utility that will look for references to such moved
software and change these.
