    Why can't i get a drive "J"


    If you look at the screen shot you can see the letters of the drives i have, however for the life of me i can't get my new WD3TB drive to come up as drive J, anyone know why and more to the point how to fix it.

    I have gone into disk managment (spelling) but when i try to change the letter J is not there, now i know in xp we used to have tweakUI which might have solved this but even having a nose in godmode has not allowed me to sort this issue out.. Discuss.

    In your screen print J is used for your DVD RW drive.

    Your screen shot shows that your DVD is using "J".
    Change the DVD to another letter and then try using J for your HD.

    It's very easy to do. Sometimes, you can look and stare at something and not see what you're looking for and it takes someone else to point the obvious out to you. By the way, I have my BD drive labelled as O (for Optical).
