For many weird and unexplained reasons, removable drives may not always be assigned the same drive letter when they're attached to your PC. Even so, you can change the letter for any non-hard drive in your computer's disk system.
Follow these steps to change the name of a PC drive:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Open the Administrative Tools icon.
3. In the Administrative Tools window, open the Computer Management icon.
Click the Continue button if you see a User Account Control security warning.
4. In the Computer Management window (it's a "console"), select Disk Management from the list on the left.
Wait a moment while the console is populated with information about your PC's disk system.
5. Right-click the disk drive volume you want to change.
For example, right-click the CD-ROM drive or a removable USB drive.
6. Choose the command Change Drive Letter and Paths from the pop-up shortcut menu.
7. Click the Change button.
8. In the Change Drive Letter or Path dialog box, choose a new drive letter from the pop-up menu.
9. Click OK to confirm the change.
10. Click Yes after reading the warning message.
This warning is true, especially with regard to CD/DVD drives from which you've installed software. Those installation programs assume that the same drive letter is used every time they're run. Changing the drive letter may confuse them and lead to much anguish and woe in the future.
Regardless, the drive letter is changed.
11. Close the AutoPlay window, if it rears its ugly head.
12. Close any other open windows or dialog boxes.
Windows remembers the drive change; the next time you start Windows or insert a removable drive, the new letter is used and can be seen in the Computer window
