Change the drive letter of the drive of CD on Portege M300

I have a Portege M300, 40 GB, Windows XP.
I have just repartioned my hard drive with Norton Partition Magic.
The result is OK: I have now two drives, the two 20 GB. That one thing is not as I expected. Still, the DVD player, is recognized as D: and the new partition got E: location.

It's just 'a beauty problem', but if I want to spend it, is this possible and how?

Hello

I googled around a bit and found an interesting article from the microsoft support database:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307844

It describes how to change the XP driver letter.

Good luck

:)

  • Change the SSD or RAM in Portege Z10t?

    Hello

    As we know that it is very easy to change the RAM memory or the Portégé R700-930 series SSD drive.
    It's a little more complicated for the Z series.

    I just wanted to know if this is possible for the new series of Z10t?
    The standard elements of 4G and 128G are a bit small for my taste.

    Thank you
    / Anders

    Hello

    I think the upgrade on Portege Z10T is another story and not comparable with other series such as Portege R700.

    The Portege Z10T is a mixture of Tablet / netbook device and mSATA SSD drive is placed within the tablet that is not upgraded to the user.

    If 128GB are not enough for you, you can insert and use the extra memory media into the SD card slot

  • Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

    HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

    I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

    I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

    Hello

    Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

    It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

    But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

    A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

    Thank you

  • Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

    The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

    Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

    If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

  • Change the drive letter of the Partition Recovery

    After previous bad experiences in trying to separate the data files program, I took the habit on my previous computer under Windows to create another partition on my hard drive to store the data files. Out of habit I still do on my desktop PC with Windows XP (great program) rather than use the My Documents folder.

    I want to do the same thing on my new DV6-3142, I use to work and create a separate partition for my data files. I understand how to create a new partition on the HDD and reassign the drive letters for the existing partitions, but I want to use the letter D for her. However, it is the letter of the drive that is used for the recovery partition.

    Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition to, say R without affecting the operation of the recovery process, or should I leave as D for the recovery of the system to work properly that I should never need her?

    Hello:

    You leave the name of the recovery partition and drive letter unchanged and your C drive: of the same name.

    If you change these, when you press the F11 key to start the recovery process, the program know what to do.

    I am a firm believer of it also have a set of factory recovery disks. For me, it is worth less than the investment of $20.  If your HARD drive fails after the warranty period, (or if you want to upgrade your HARD drive), your recovery partition doesn't help anyway.

  • Change the drive letter of the system drive on Windows XP SP2

    Hello.

    There is a certain task I want to accomplish, but I can't figure out how. Here's the situation:

    I have 2 hard drives, each separated into 2 partitions. 1 disk partitions have the letters C: and G: assigned on them.

    The drive 2 partitions receive letters D: and J: . I have two installations of Windows XP, one on disk 1 (C: partition) and the other on disk 2 (D: partition).

    What I want to do is change the letter of the D: partition ( E: letter, even if it doesn't really) . As you probably know, Windows does not allow me to do that because D: is a system partition / boot. So, I was wondering if there is another way to achieve this, without risking damage to the system.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    You can correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect it came because you installed to C on disk 1, and then, without disconnecting the drive 1, installed to D on disc 2.

    If you had unplugged disc 1 before installing the second XP on disc 2, the Windows partition on drive 2 would also named drive C. A clean re-installation of Windows on the drive with the drive disconnected 1 2 is the only way to remedy this I know.

    When you reconnect the disk 1, it will assign other letters for the partitions on disk 2 and vice versa. Having established the two XPs, I would recommend that you delete the drive letters for the other XP system using disk management.

    How do you dual-boot at the moment? By changing the BIOS hard drive boot order? Or by the manipulation of boot.ini file? EasyBCD should help with the latter, you can download the commercial version free from here...

    Hello

    Create a bootable USB drive or DVD from the .iso in Windows 8:

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2227-create-bootable-USB-DVD-Windows-8-release-preview-ISO.html

    Then start under it and install.

    If you do not format anything during installation, all your old files will be placed in folder C:\Windows.old.

    You can then copy what you want to keep, get out of here.

    After that, you can use the disk cleanup utility to remove this folder if you check the box to do this.

    Enjoy.

  • I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

    Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

    The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

    I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

    Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

    I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

    There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

    Thank you.

    Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
    I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.

  • How to change the drive letter with installed applications?

    My window is installed on the C: drive, and the application is installed on the D: drive,

    I just buy a new HARD drive and put it into drive E:, everything is copied from drive D: to E: drive and want to switch between the letter D: and E:.

    I tried to put in DISKPART, but when I restart my XP, the drive letter remains the same,

    If I change the drive letter directly in XP, it cannot be changed, because the applications are running.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Make sure any DVD/CD or USB keys are not connected or set F assignments or beyond (MY DVD is S & T).

    Shut down the computer; power off. Disconnect the old drive (now D). Connect the new drive (now a copy of the old D). Power and boot to the desktop. Go into disk management and make sure the drive that contains Windows, the original C drive is always c. assign the new drive as D. Reboot the desktop. Check operation.

    Shut down the computer; power off. Plug the old drive. Restart the desktop computer. Enter Disk Management and assign it to E.

    Restart, then check the operation.

  • Is it possible to change a drive letter of the system?

    Hello

    I have XP Pro SP3.

    I am interested if it is possible to change a drive letter of the system. My windows was originally installed on c:, but then I found that it is on d:. Maybe it was because I inserted a disc with another Windows in my pc. So, if the computer sees it has letter c: with windows he used d:. I put t know. But 98.5 percent of register use c:. But when I run my computer, then "documents and settings" on d: to run all my accounts on d:. I would like to go back to c: and (change the drive letter c: to something different and then change the d: to c :). I would change a few c: registry values. But how can I do when Windows has probably read files on the wrong drive? If I would disconnect the disk if the Windows will crash. So I want to just change the letters and give it back to its original position.

    This problem that I solved with the backup of the machine. A problem occurs when I restore it back. But this facility has been unlucky.
