    Windows 95 partitions

    Is there a way for me to assign any special letter to a partition besides the defaults. Because I have a windows 95 pc with 5 partitions, C trough G, but I am running an application that needs to have the letter G free so I can map a drive to it. This is a huge database that was originally set up to use the letter G as mapped drive, and if I want to change the drive letter I have to change it on every other pc that I have, and I don't want to do that. This application will not work with any drive letter, it has to be letter G, because of the way it was setup when it was created. I know that under Windows NT you can set any letter to any partition. Also I already have data on this partition and I would like to keep it. Does anyone know of any utility or how can I free this drive letter. Any help will be appreciated.

    Either take the last partition out of your hard drive using FDISK or, make sure you have Windows 95B or later and totally redue your hard drive with FAT32 instead of FAT16
