19 Jul, 2008 7:14 pm Change drive letter [sdp=92840]  

While attempting to diagnose an audio problem (was found to be software-related), I removed a CD-ROM drive from one of my desktops and left the CD-RW drive in it. It was simply moved from the middle to the top bay, now using the top connector on the ribbon cable and the jumper moved from SL (slave) to MA (master).

When Windows boots up, the CD-RW drive is still identified as drive E, when it should really be drive D.

Is there a way to change the drive letter? In Windows 9X there was, however I am not able to find the same setting in XP.

You can change it from the Disk Management snap-in for MMC. Go to Start -> Run and type in compmgmt.msc, then look under the Storage drop-down for Disk Management. In here you can right-click on your CD drive's entry and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths", then proceed from there.
