How To Partition A New Hard Drive?

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.
