File System Tasks
Changing Drive Letters
- Drive letters are used by applications and users as a quick reference to locate files. A drive letter
points to a partition or volume formatted with a file system.
Once a drive letter has been used to reference a particular group of files, the user and their
applications expect the same drive letter to be used when the files are accessed again.
- It is possible to change the drive letter, or assign a new one, to a partition or volume using the Disk Management console.
- A single drive letter can only be assigned to one partition or volume.
Drive letters can also be removed from a partition or volume.
