How do you change drive letters in Windows Me?

Is there a way to reassign the drive letter for a HDD in Windows Me? I need to change the drive letter of my second partition (an extended partition in the first HDD). It is currently drive D:. Is this possible?

Thanks.

As far as I'm aware, you can only change drive letters of removable media, not hard disks themselves.

I don't think you can either. I know you can on an NTFS file system though :)

It's not the file system that allows you to change drive letters, it's the OS. Windows NT, 2000, and XP all allow you to change the drive letters of a hard drive as long as it's not your system or boot partition. It doesn't matter if the drive is formatted as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS.

DOS and Windows 9x, on the other hand, don't allow you to change drive letter assignments for non-removable disks. The primary partition of the first hard drive is always C:, followed by primary partitions on other drives. After all primary partitions get letters, then logical drives in extended partitions get the next letters.

Thanks for the info. I guess I should upgrade that system to an NT-based kernel OS. ;-)
