    Easy way to assign drive letters

    Does anyone know an easy way to assign drive letters because I am finding it difficult to directly rename them? First of all, I want to know if renaming is possible or not? I have tried searching for third party softwares for renaming on the web, but cannot get any perfect software for the same. My computer is running the Windows Vista operating system. Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can indeed give whatever names you want to give to the various drives in your system. But, you cannot change the particular drive letters of the system. Inorder to do that, you need to go to the default method available for Disk Management. This is a widely used method by almost all the Windows users. It is a preferred and simple method and there is no difficulty in using the same.

    Re: Easy way to assign drive letters

    I know a manual and easy way to assign drive letters. For this, it is required that 2 batch files must be created as follows:
    First, must be a .txt file, that has the following code:
    Code:
    select disk 0
    select partition 4
    assign letter=x
    exit
    exit
    You can save the above file by any name that you wish.
    Next, a .bat file has to be created with the following code:
    Code:
    diskpart /s thenameofthetextfile.txt
    You have to type the following to change the letter of any drive:
    Code:
    diskpart /s thenameofthetextfile.txt > finalresult.txt
