Drive letters cannot be re-assigned
I had, amongst others, two drives labelled D: and E: on my PC and wished to exchange the drive letters. I got as far as temorarily renaming drive D: to X: but then had to divert my attention to other matters. Since drive D: was not actually in use this had no immediate consequence and I thought no more of it until recently when three MS Updates for Office 2003 repeatedly failed to install. I still did not connect the two until, whilst researching a solution to the failed installation problem, I came across MS Article ID.903776 which states quite clearly that the renaming could well be the cause.
I now needed to rename X: back to D: but, on entering Drive Management, I found that D was no longer offered from the drop-down list. Is there a way around this, please?
