help me computer people

GreenFaleen · December 7th, 2008, 04:04 PM

Ok I have xp, and I plugged in a external harddrive. It at first named it drive E. then at some point it was changed to F and a CD drive is now named E.
my problem now is I cant change the name of the CD drive that is named it as it doesnt show up in the disk management options.

I have a video game in stalled on the flash drive I want to play but cant due to the file letter being different, as well as I cant uninstall it since it cant find the files to uninstall

here is what I see

I want to change the name of the drive circled in red

but when i got to disk management it isnt there

any help would be great

Try plugging in that external hard drive and then assign it a different letter, maybe it conflicts with the CD media drive as far as lettering goes?

You were on the right track.

Get back into the Disk Manager and right-click on the drive in the bottom tab.

Click on the Change Drive letter button and you can figure it out from here

I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to put that into words because it doesn't show up as a button. Pictures ftw
