Hello

I had to open my pc and remove drives. Once re-installed, one of the drive has seen it's letter allocation modified. Since 2 application is pointing to G drive, I would like to be able to get it back.

Hard disk (2) Was G: Now, show has a D:
CD drive was D: Now show has E:

G: appear had a "movable" drive

What can I do to replace all drive letter allocation has it use to be

Any info appreciated

Martin

If G: does not appear in the list some other drive/partition is using it.

You will need to remove G: on that drive/partition (or change the letter) and then you should be able to apply it to your desired drive/partition.

Can you post a screenshot of the Disk Management window?
