How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

original title: I add an opportunity second hard drive labeled C:. How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

I'm runnibg Vista service pack 1 on a Compaq Presario with a labeled hard drive C:.

No you haven't, how it was labeled in the old pc is irrelevant, just install you it as slave on your PC drive, depends on the question of if you need to change the jumper on the drive. Some PC manufacturers require the rider to be set as "cable select" others as "slave" (unless of course, it's a sata drive that requires no jumpers)

Once it is set, when you start your PC, it will be assingned a drive letter

  • How can I change my drive letter on my backup drive?

    From: ScottHarlow

    About 2 weeks ago, I did a full system back up and now I want to restore SOME files from the backup. Whenever I go to the backup and Restore Center and try to do a restore of the files, I get a warning that there are no backups available on this computer. But, from the main screen, I see that the last backup was performed on 07/07/2008 and has been saved on disk 'G '. It is an external hard drive and now when I connect Windows Vista (Ultimate) assigns to the player "H". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    From: Richard G. Harper

    You have the Nations United-do what you did to back up the road of 'G' to 'H' - if the Windows backup utility him is not where the backup where think he saves, the backup will be considered as damaged and unusable.

  • How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

    I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

    In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

    How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

    ....

    My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

    At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

    mountvol D:\/d

    Close the command prompt.

    Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

    Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

    As far as I know, it cannot be changed. Each internal floppy drive has A drive letter. Each external device becomes first available letter after later used in Windows Explorer in my computer.

  • How can I change the driver for my processor?

    CPU driver

    Hello, I tried to run this game called 'minecraft' but I never load...

    to cut to the Chase, I need the driver of Intel P4/NetBurst Architecture processor or equivalent AMD (AMD K7)
    I have AMD Sempron (TM) TR-42...
    How can I change my driver? Help, please

    First of all, check that you have the latest BIOS for your system. All pilots must be installed automatically for Windows Update.

    The AMD Sempron (TM) TR-42 is an old, low powered CPU and the message you see is probably because Sempron SI - 42 http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Mobile%20Sempron%20SI-42%20-%20SMSI42SAM12GG.html isn't a sufficient processor to run Minecraft.

  • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

    Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

    The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
    Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

    Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
    Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
    MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.
