Re: Renaming drives



You could try removing the External Drive and start over.

Let me start by stating that I am using Windows XP Pro SP2. All of my
drives
had specific letter designations, which several of my programs were linked
to. I made a mistake and did not have all my drives connected when I
added a
new external device and it assumed one of my other drives names. In
short,
how do I rename my drives so they are back to where they were? I tried a
right click on the drive and went to "rename", but it wouldn't let me
change
the letter designation.
