How to change your drive letter in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
1. Right click on your "Computer" icon and select Manage. Note you can also right click on the "Computer" icon from your Start Menu.
2. Next click on "Storage" and then "Disk Management"
3. Next right click on the drive you want to change the drive letter on and click on "Change Drive Letter and Paths".
4. Next click on the "Change" button
5. Next click on the letter drop down on the right. Note you can change the drive letter to any letter that is not already used. However in most cases you will not beable to use letters A-D but E-Z should be open for you to select.
Also note if you are needing to change a drive letter to something that a device requires you to select but it is being used by another device you will have to move the other device to another letter first.
6. After selecting the drive letter click OK.
Note the below message come up. So as long as you are on changing the drive letter of a CD-ROM or Harddrive then you can just click YES. Keep in mind that if a program was installed from this the drive that you changed the drive letter of to be able to use that program you may need to reinstall and/or redirect the program to the new drive letter.
7. At this point the drive should be changed. Close out of Computer Management and reboot your computer to make sure your change takes full effect.
Note the steps for Windows XP are pretty much the same however if you go to the below link you can see the steps along with the screen shots of the menus.
When configuring a Multi-boot configuration using Windows operating systems, you need to install Windows Versions oldest to newest on separate partitions. In doing so, Windows 7 is going to be installed to Drive D: or E: or such. In all previous versions of Windows, if you have a multi-boot configuration, the drive letter for that OS is always the same as the drive where it was installed.
Windows 7 does things a bit differently. EXAMPLE: I have 3 partitions on my hard drive. C:, D: and E:. XP on C: Vista on D: Windows 7 on E: When I boot to XP, the boot drive letter is C: When I boot to Vista, the boot drive letter is D: (Simple) Well, I learned the hard way that when you boot to Windows 7 from a partition other than C:, it will show the boot drive as C: in Windows 7 (It swaps drive letters with the boot drive and C: transparently). When you boot to the other partitons, the drive letters are as they should be and the change is only effective while booted to the Windows 7 Partition.
I am sure that are may 7 letter words made out of these letters. Here are a few: scepter (or sceptre in British English), sherbet, shelter, spencer, spender, specter (spectre Brit.), spelter , effects. That is enough for me.
