Drive letter assignment

[Jim Falls]

I need to change available drive letters and don't know or
don't remember how. At some point I remember unchecking N -
Z drive letters thinking I would never need that many. I
now find that I need more available drive letters but don't
know where to configure this.
Help would be appreciated!

Sounds like TweakUI, which offers a choice to hide drive letters

I hope I'm doing this right.
I need follow up help.

Went to Tweak UI and found A -Z had check marks but M - Z
also had small red circles containig a ? mark by M- Z.
What started this line of questioning was that I installed
a Seagate 200 GB HDD and used Seagates utility to partion
and format the drive into five 40GB partitions. Only the
first four partitions showed up in My Computer and Power
Desk file manager. I assumed that I had run out of
available (turned on) drive letters because the last
partition showing was the last that I left checked
previously in Tweak UI. I re-partioned and formated the
drive as one 200 Gb drive to make sure that my system could
recognize a drive that size. It did. I uninstalled Tweak
UI, rebooted and re-installed Tweak UI. The question marks
remain by all the letters where there is not a drive installed.
I re-partioned and formated (with Seagate's utility) the
drive with five 40 Gb partitions and rebooted. Still the
fifth partition does not show up in My Computer. This drive
in question is installed as a single drive on the second
port of a I/O Flex brand (Cables Unlimited) PCI ATA 133
IDE/ATAPI card that is one week old. There is another drive
installed as a master on port one of the card. 80 wire
cables used on both drives.
This has me baffled. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
