When I installed my Sony DRU-510A DVD burner it was assigned the letter
'I'. The drive I removed was letter 'M'.
I would like to change the Sony to letter 'M'. Is there a way to do
this?
Hi Jim,
Yes, if the drive letter "M" is now free, it's quite simple to change the
letter of your DVD drive:
1) right-click on the My Computer icon (in the Start Menu or on the desktop,
depending on your config)
2) from the context menu, select "Manage"
3) In the Computer Management window that appears, click on "Disk
Management" in the left hand pane.
4) In the right hand pane, you should now see a list of your disks, with a
bar-graph representation of them below.
5) In the lower half of the right hand side, find your Sony DVD drive
(probably identified as "CD-ROM" 0 or 1), and right-click on it where it has
the small CD drive icon in the first column, e.g where it says something
like "DVD (T
". From the context menu that appears, select "Change drive
letter and paths..."
6) A dialog box titled "Change Drive letter and Paths for T
)" should now
appear. Under where it says "allow access to this volume...", click on the
"T:" and then click the "Change..." button below.
7) In the new dialog box that appears, select your preferred letter (M) from
the drop-down list, and click OK.
8) When warned that "changing the drive letter of a volume might cause
programs to no longer run.." click Yes.
9) Close the Computer Management window - job done.
Hope this helps!
