| hard drive letter changed I have two hard drives ... they had been specified as C: and E: I have two cd/dvd's that I believe had been specified as D: and F: somehow, hard drive E: is now specified as D: and of course some programs do not work properly or files are not found. And, the dvd's are now E: and F: I have no idea how this happened. If I try to respecify my now hard drive D: ... E is a not a choice because there is a dvd drive on E: I cannot figure out how to respecify the DVD drive in order to then specify hard drive D as E Any ideas? Thanks. |

Change the offending ones to G and H. change the good ones to those letters now vacated. Change G and H back to where you want them. Etc. Galen |
