Change disk drive letter?

Ok well, overnight somehow my External Hard drive's letter (F:) Changed
to G and moved to my Cd Drive. I was wondering how to change my CD
drive's letter, so that I can have my external as the letter F again.
Thanks

Hi,
Type computer in the start ord search window and select computer management.
Then select disk management. Right click on the CD drive and select change
drive letter.

manage as well.

What is the "it" that doesn't show up?

If both F: and G: are assigned to devices, in order to swap F: with G: you
need to go through several steps. You cannot directly swap them in one
move. No biggie, but you have to do it that way. First set F: to any
currently unused letter, say W:. Then set G: to F:. Last set W: to G:. If
either of the devices are in use, you will need to reboot in between before
it will work. You will see a message to that effect if it is a problem.
Naturally you want to remove any cds from the cd drive first.

Colin hasn't been seen in these parts for over a year so it's obvious
that you are replying to A VERY OLD POST.
