need to change hard drive designation letter

[dancer]

I have two hard drives and two cd drives. I forgot that some saved
Nero burn compilations referred to my second hard drive as "D" but
after a format and reinstall job, now that drive is "F". The easies thing
would be to redesignate "F" to be "D" again.

How do I do that in w2k??

Thanks much!!!

You can reassign non-system, non-boot partition drive letters in Disk
Management
Start|Run|diskmgmt.msc

I did change the boot and system drives letters a number of times without backing anything up first. Although now I wish I wrote down what I did. As each time I did so, it had taken me about two days to pull off. Gee now that I now think of it, backing up and restoring would have been quicker. <sigh>

Whoops, are you saying it is a bad idea to change drive letter
designations??

You can't change the system or boot partition drive letters.

Both the boot and system drives can't be changed under the stock Windows 2000 (other drives are fine) as far as I know (and it will let you know if you try it). But it can be done under non-stock systems. I know, I've done it. <grin>
