As you may have read in my other thread, I had a problem with my HDD. I downloaded the Ultimate Boot CD and ran the SeaTools diagnostic program from there (I have a Seagate drive). It found 5 bad sectors on the drive and fixed them.

I rebooted the PC and now my drive letters are mixed up - current D:\ drive was previously the E:\ drive and vice versa. To make things clearer:


Previously:

E:\ - the bigger partition of my HDD where I store pretty much everything what does not belong on the system C:\ drive

D:\ - DVD drive

Now:

D:\ - the bigger partition of my HDD where I store pretty much everything what does not belong on the system C:\ drive

E:\ - DVD drive


You can imagine that this is a problem, cause most of the stuff on my PC is now pointing to non-existant files, looking for them on E:\, while they're on D:\ now. How do I change the drive letters to how they once were?


EDIT: Nvm, found out how to do it: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management (names may differ slightly, I'm translating here).

There you go.

Careful though; changing drive letters may sometimes create havoc in system.

Good Luck.
 
Ah thanks I needed to know that, after installing vista my other HDD got it's letter changed and it pissed me off, it's back to G:!
