Partitioning in Windows Vista got a lot easier as they had the inbuilt Disk Management utility which allows to Extend and Shrink drives to create new drives or partition it. We had already seen on the earlier tutorial how to partition in windows Vista? But sometimes after partitioning it, you may want to change the Drive Letter.
So how to change the drive letter in Windows Vista?
Go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools -> Double Click Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management.
Right click the Drive you want to change its letter and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Choose the drive and click Change.
From the drop down menu near Assign the following drive letter, choose the letter you want to assign. Click OK.
Which means that you do exactly what you did in Windows XP
Thanks for the tip!
Good tip…I usually have to do this when I plug in a USB stick and the next drive letter after the CD rom drive is already being used!
It’s the same as in Windows XP.
It is a bad idea to change the drive letters of permanent partitions especially C:
@Ajay, I agree and I would not recommend anyone to change C drive. One of the LyteByte reader asked for this tip on another post so I wrote it.
It’s the same as it was in Windows 2000, even.
