Changing a drive letter for a new hard or old hard drive is very easy. If you are using Windows 2000 or later versions of Windows such as XP or Vista, it is possible to change the drive letter. To change the drive letter, open the 'Control Panel' option in my computer and enter 'Administrative Tools'. You will see a number of options there. Select 'Computer Management'. In that window, you will find an option which says 'Disk Management'. There you will see all the drives that are currently installed on your computer. You can change any of the drive letters to any letter you want from A to Z.
In case you want to change the letter of a drive to something that already exists on your computer, the trick is to first change the letter of the second drive to anything else and then selecting the second drive's letter to the first drive.
