  When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, that I replaced. The letter is now used by another device?

  Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

• Assign a drive letter to a USB hard drive

  How can I assign a drive letter to a USB drive so that it is always the same whenever I plug it to make backups etc.?

  Thanks, Martin

  Plug in your device and wait for it to be recognized.  Open a command prompt (click the start ORB, then all programs, then Accessories, and then right-click the command prompt icon and select run as administrator). In the command prompt, type diskmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.  Find your external drive in the list in the disk management window and right click and select "Change Drive Letter and paths", assign the drive letter, you always want to have.

• 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:

  

• How to assign a drive letter on a Portable device?

  I have a Canon Digital Rebel XSi and I am on Windows 7.  I would like to have the images automatically copied to my hard drive, when I connect the camera.  When I connect the camera via USB, it shows fine in portable devices.  The problem is that the path is Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi.  I can't get any third-party software to recognize as a path valid (because it does not begin with something like F:\), I can find no way to get Windows 7 to assign a drive letter to the camera directly.

  Is it possible to assign a drive letter to the camera or get a third-party software to recognize Computer\Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi as valid a path?

• Assign the drive letter?

  Hello

  As my rocket was working well after going through the washing machine... I just bought a 2 GB Clip +.

  It works OK, but in contrast to the "rocket", he is not assigned a drive letter. On the contrary, a 'portable' dialog box appears when I plug the thing into my XP host, I select "Open the device to view files" and a window pops up that says: "My to Clip + 2 GB" I can drop files to copy to the device.

  I didn't install the applications on the CD of Sansa: this would assign a drive letter of the Clip + is connected?

  Thank you.

  Simple. Go to settings > system settings > USB Mode and set it to the MSC (Mass Storage Class).

• 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

• Cannot assign a drive letter using the Vista Disk Manager.

  I read these latest solutions possible, but here's my problem.  I need to connect directly a 3.5 drive I pulled a SIN of hammer to my laptop running Windows Vista... because I need to recover a folder deleted this drive 3.5 with software that only works on the directly connected motors.  Software of network recovery might work, but it seems too expensive for just the recovery of this folder.  I connected the hard drive directly via the USB port.  The system tray sees the device, but the Explorer is and of disk management to assign a drive letter is greyed out.  Please help with assigning a drive letter.  There is only one user on the laptop which is also the administrator.  Thank you!

  In my view, that Hammer NAS units are based on Linux. Therefore, the drive is probably _not_ formatted with a filesystem Windows reads/writes. Making it very difficult to recover the folder removed since all things you could do to convert to NTFS, say, will also make little probable that you can recover deleted files. Eventually, you could use one of the Linux flavors running from a DVD, for example, Ubuntu and recover the file by using a Linux tool or set the drive on a Linux machine.

• Windows 7 does not assign a drive letter

  Windows does not automatically assign a drive letter to one of my discs usb hard or flash drives, if I go into disk management utility disk is still sitting there in line and assets and all I have to do is right click and assign a drive letter and everything works as usual. However, it is super annoying and there is no reason windows should not do this for me. I assure you there is no disc corrupt driver problems, jumpers or whatever it is out of whack, I'm a computer programmer myself. I just never fell on the situation and could not find an answer after looking here for 20 minutes and Googling autour and check other sources.

  Thanks for the help

  type diskpart

  automount enable

  Hey,.

  Wait a moment, Matt: do you have upgraded to Windows 7 with the new CD/DVD drive or do you have it before you exchanged the drive?

  You get this message from Windows?

  If so, it seems that it s not installed correctly and you should try removing the upper and lower filters in the registry:

  How can I change the current drive letter assignment?

  Hello Steef

  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.

  Good bye
