Added a second hard drive

I just added a second hard drive and now that letter is F drive, you see the first hard drive is "C" the CD-RW is "D" the CD-Rom is "E" and now the second hard drive is "F" is there an easy way to make the second hard drive "D" and the burner "E" and the CD "F", or should I just leave it alone, I don't have any problems with any devices, it all works fine.

I think Windows assigns a drive letter in the order the drive is installed. Since it was the last drive installed it has the highest letter. If you really want to reassign your drive letters, I would uninstall all drives (except for C obviously) and reinstall them in the order you want the letters to show up.

Exclamation Easier way

If your OS is Windows 2000, you can go to computer management, disk manager and change your drive letters around. You can only change extended partitions or cdroms, etc.

Good luck.
