Hi All

I've partitioned my HDD to 2, with labels (C:) and (E:) respectively. And my
DVD drive is (D:). Is there any way of interchanging labels of (E:) with (D:)?
 
Go in the Built-in Disk Management Tool and reassign the current drive
"D" with another available letter, lets say "R" as an example. That
will free the drive letter "D". Now you can assign the drive letter "D"
to the the "E" volume and then reassign the newly released letter "E" to
the "R" device. Note that this won't work if "E" is the System or Boot
volume.

You can change drive letters in the way John has indicated. The only
drive letter you should is C, which is the system drive / partition.

Yes. Just try it, you can't really screw this up, if the volume is
system or boot the Disk Management tool will simply refuse to do it and
give you an error message.

Those are not labels. They are partition letter designations. XP calls
partitions, drives.

Through disk management, one can change what you're attempting to do.

Correction

The only drive letter you should NOT TRY TO CHANGE is C, which is the
system drive / partition.

sorry about the title.

thanks for the info anyways. I already changed the "letter" of each drive
except for the C: drive because it is the system boot disk.
