OptikaliLLusion Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Okay, how can I set the drives to have different letters? I want it to be like this: Hard drive 1 (main): W: Hard Drive 2 (secondary): X: CD Drive: Z: Floppy Drive: Y: Is this something I do at install, in the BIOS, or after install? Whichever of the three, how do I do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Acronis Disk Director will do the hard disks. I'm not sure if it'll do the floppy nad the optical though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 You can use windows disk management (right click my computer and select manage) to do this, but that will not change your system drive letter. You can use partition magic for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptikaliLLusion Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 So do I rename them now or after install? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 after install. Those letters are just a designation by windows, so changing them before a reinstall in pointless because they will be reassigned. See if during the installation, you can change the letter. I do not think you can, but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Yep disk (i jsut made a bad typo on that involving a c instead of an s...oops) management is the easiest way w/o other software to change it . Good luck on the format, you'll need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Well I renamed my second hard drive for Games to Z:Games That Disk Director thing requires you to buy it for anything useful like changing your main drive's letter. I'm a fan of the letters W, Y, Z, and X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Why not S? S is a good word. So is E... all the rest are like bad words. They're crappy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
