changing drive letter on external harddrive?

[Michael Mauzey]

I created a virtual drive and it was assigned drive F:\
which is normally the letter assigned to my external harddrive. But I had
the external harddrive turned off ... now when I turn the external harddrive
on, it has a new drive letter H:\. I can easily change the virtual drive
letter to H:\, but I can't figure out how to change the drive letter of the
Maxtor external harddrive back to F:\. Does anyone know how? Thanks ...
