Hi,

Click on Start, then open Control Panel. Open Administrative Tools. Click on
Computer Management. Click on the 'plus sign of 'Storage' to expand it, then
click on Disk Management. Right click on any of the partitions that were
created to get a menu to change the drive letter.

Still strugling. I want to change to a letter lower down that Is
clearly not in use but is not available in the drop down box.

Windows allows uers to "hide" or unhide any
drive letter. TweakUI is often the most convenient
tool to manage this, i.e. ensure your target letter
is available for use (but there are probably 3 or 4
other ways to do this, even in XP.)
 
Or right-click on My Computer -- Manage.
No big deal if it's done rarely, just another path to the same
place.

Maybe because you can't go lower than C.
