    How do I check in BIOS? I think I should assign letter in disk management

    If it's not in disk management you can't assign a letter normally drives are displayed on startup or go into BIOS and it should give you list of drives with model numbers

    Hi lakshi123,

    I think to enter the BIOS on a Dell you need to reboot and continualy press F2 until the first screen appears and you see the message Entering Setup. Then just use your arrow keys to navigate to the BIOS.

    I hope this helps!
