| | Drive Letters Changed Hello Folks, I bought a new portabe hdd. Before connecting it, I powered on the 2 other ones I normally use on my PC. After the drive was installed, I opened My Computer and all the drive letters had changed. Why? & can they be returned to originals. The USB port As far as I know has never been used before.  |

| | Hello George, You should be able to use either option in the tutorial below to change the drive letters back to what they were. If one drive is using another's old letter, then you may need to change it to some other letter that none of them used before in order to rearrange and change the letters back. Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove in Windows 7 Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Hi Shawn, Thanks for reminding me how it's done. I was thinking more on the lines, that each USB port was assigned a specific letter regardless of what's plugged in. My pc has 1 on the front & 3 or 4 @ the rear. P.S. I like your new Avatar. - P.S.2 When I get mail re a new post, it shows your logo as Seven Forums, but at the base it is called 7 Forums. It could be confusing as their is another called 'Windows 7 Forums.  Last edited by Roderunner; 12-15-2011 at 05:46 AM.. Reason: Add feedback |

| | You're most welcome George.  Yeah, I suppose that could be a bit confusing. I think it was done that way to be shorter and to help recognize it being for the "Windows 7" OS. |

| | Yeah but they get no traffic (other than the faked stats) and dont rank in google, so it doesn't really matter  |
