Changing
and Assigning Device Drive Letters
Using NT's Disk Administrator to you can change
and assign the drive letters to devices such as hard disk, cdroms, zip
drives etc. let's run through an example using two computers. Both
computers use
drive C: as the primary Windows NT Workstation 4.0 partition. A second
partition, drive D:, is used for data storage and so forth. The CD-ROM
drive is drive E:, and the remaining removable storage is drive F:.
On the second computer, the removable storage is drive E: and the CD-ROM
drive is F:. So on computer 2, click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools
(Common), Disk Administrator. When Disk Administrator opens, click the
CD-ROM partition and choose Tools, Assign Drive Letter. Set the CD-ROM to
drive X: (or anything not in use). Now click the removable storage
partition and choose Tools, Assign Drive Letter. Set this drive to E:.
Repeat the procedure and set the CD-ROM to F:.
There is usually no problem with changing the drive letters of CD-ROM
drives and other removable storage devices. You need to be a little more
careful with hard disk partitions, though. If you have loaded programs on
the partition, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 won't be able to locate the
program files after you rename the drive. Don't rename the partition
that holds Windows NT Workstation 4.0. This is usally the C:\
partition.
