PC Hacks: Change Logical Drive Letters

Overview Changing drive letter assignments is useful if one has added a second hard drive to a Windows NT/2000/XP/Windows Server 2003 system. Suppose one starts out with a hard drive as drive C:. The CD-ROM drive is automatically assigned as drive D:. A second hard drive added to this configuration would become drive E:, which is not what one might expect if one thinks hard disk drives are supposed to flow in logical, alphabetical order. What one has learned to expect from the days of DOS is for the second hard drive to become D: and the CD-ROM drive to become drive E:. One can make their own new NT-2003 systems appear more like old DOS systems with a few simple drive-letter changes.
