    Resolved [RESOLVED] Drive Letter Assignment

    How do I do it. I have my newly installed SCSI drive conflicting w/ my network drive. I need to assign my burner and reader to different letters. This is the run down as of now:
    A: -FLoppy
    C: -SCSI BOOT
    D: -50x CD
    E: -Really slow burner
    F: -Network and the new SCSI
    G:-Network
    H:-Network
    I:-Network
    J:-Network
    K:-Network

    What types of drives are they? If they are IDE drives go into device manager and change the drive reservation to a different letter.

    The CD drives are IDE, each are masters on Primary and secondary controllers. The SCSI drives are on a Adaptec 2940AU Host Adapter. All the others are Network.

    in windows 2000 you can change the drive letter to anything you want (or even make it a folder on another drive)
    this is done by:
    r-click my computer
    select manage
    go to disk management
    r-click the partition (right side), and select change drive letter and path.
    its pretty self explainitory after that.

    All is well now. I found the Disk Management program in the system32 folder.
