As is known, the computer assigns a drive letter on their own or another connected drive.But there are situations when the user can not make a selection system value.For example, a man accustomed to the CD-ROM is the letter "F", and when you reinstall the system suddenly became the "E", and one of the hard drives has appropriated the letter from the device CD.
But do not be upset.It's all fixable, and in this article I'll talk about how to change the drive letter (for CD-ROM, hard drive, flash drive, or card reader).And for that you do not need to use any third-party software, as it can be done using standard tools of the operating system.In my case it is KHR.
So, you can change the drive letter to any unoccupied (C through Z).With regard to A and B, the data symbols are reserved for the floppy disk drive.But as of late, these devices are not installed in the computers and laptops, these letters can be assigned to one or another removable media such as flash drives, for example.With regard to the letter "C", it is usually assigned to the system hard drive, so the list will not be available to her.
should also say that you can change the drive letter is not only the standard software Vindovs.If you are a supporter of the program Acronis Disk Director, Utilities DzhiParted and other similar software, you can also perform this procedure.But we will treat this as an example of the standard way maykrosoftovskih.
To change the drive letter, run the start menu, which activate the control panel, and then in the window that appears, locate the service that is called the administration.You make a double-click on it, open the tab called "Disk Management".Imagine that we need to change the drive letter for any removable media such as flash drives.It must be inserted into a port in advance.
So when to start the service responsible for managing disks, activate the necessary USB flash drive from the list, and then in the menu, select the option to edit the letter or the path to the device.When the following window appears, click the button changes, select one of the available vacant letters.Confirm your selection with "OK".After this action, you see a warning, and the question of whether you really want to change the drive letter.Reiterates its action, then this flash drive will be assigned the letter you selected.
But what if you need to swap drive letters?No problems.Use some intermediate letter sequence thus will be the same as that described above.The only thing you need to understand is that this method can not be replaced by the letter of the system drive, that is, to that which contains all the files of your operating system.To do this, you will need to change links Vindovs registry.This should be done very carefully, because the need to reinstall the system in case of error.
