Planned management system drive letter (1)

As early as in the era of Windows 95 and 98, I used to change the drive letter to X: or Y:. In this way, you can avoid the system automatically moving the drive letter backwards every time you add a new hard disk. Secondly, for some software, you often need to read the document from the previous CD-ROM drive letter after installation. The software is not working properly. It is directly changed to a few characters behind the alphabet. How to add a hard disk, as long as the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive does not change, it will not cause this kind of problem. Of course, many programs now have the ability to automatically search for the drive letter, even if the drive letter changes, it can run normally. But old problems are not so easy to get rid of, right? And changing the drive letter is a good thing for users who often use the USB expansion port to manage their drive letters more programmatically.

Below we introduce this modification method. First, you must log in to the system as an administrator. From the "Start" to the "Control Panel" "Administrative Tools" "Computer Management", in the pop-up window, expand the "storage" on the left, select "Disk Management", in the right window you will see the status of all storage devices in the computer, Capacity, drive letter and more. Of course, the floppy drive is not shown here (if you have a floppy drive in your system).

Click on the drive letter in the upper right window and select "Change drive name and path". In the pop-up dialog you will see that the previously selected drive letter is highlighted. Click "Change" and a dialog will pop up with "Assign the following drive letter:". In the drop-down menu behind it, you can redefine a new drive letter for the hard drive you have divided. Click OK to retreat to the interface that started. You can see "My Computer" now, the drive letter of the storage device has been changed. One thing you need to pay attention to here is that Windows does not allow users to change the drive letter of the C: drive.

Of course, in "Computer Management", you can also rename these devices, but the most convenient way is to modify it directly in "My Computer". If you change the name of a partition, such as the partition name of the C: drive, to "Windows", the system is likely to cause some headaches.
