How do I rearrange drive letters?

[J.V.]

My CD rom is showing up as Drive D: and my second drive partition is
showing up as Drive E:. I want to switch them so the CD rom is always the
last drive letter.

Thanks much

You can't guarantee that your CD-ROM will always be the last letter. But you
can change the letters assigned to drives.

Thanks, but how?

Right click on My Computer and select Manage from the drop down
menu.
In the Storage section of Computer Management, click on Disk
Management.
In the lower pane, right click on the entry for your CD drive.
Select "Change Drive Letters and Paths..." from the menu.
In the box that pops up hit the Change button.
Change the drive letter to something other than D.
Click OK twice.
Now do the same for your second drive and change it's letter to
D.

Naming it "z" pretty much guarantees it's last. That's what I always used
when I had zip drives as my writable media, and it make things a lot easier.

Thanks for the post! It really helped me out!

Of course if you had installed apps, then reassigned drive letters, they may
no longer run
