| | Re: Change disk drive letter? What is the "it" that doesn't show up? If both F: and G: are assigned to devices, in order to swap F: with G: you need to go through several steps. You cannot directly swap them in one move. No biggie, but you have to do it that way. First set F: to any currently unused letter, say W:. Then set G: to F:. Last set W: to G:. If either of the devices are in use, you will need to reboot in between before it will work. You will see a message to that effect if it is a problem. Naturally you want to remove any cds from the cd drive first. "feeny" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:e6a3e935984f97175ec60ae14f8f67c8@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
