Hi guys,

There is a very professional issue that need your suggestions. Yesteray afternoon, one of my friends called me to ask a question that I am quite unfamiliar with. He asked me how to modify his drive letter on his computer. He wanted to change the D:/to C:/. As a unprofessional person, I do not have any idea ob this problem. In addition, the operating system of his computer is Windows 8 home premium.

Pls advise! Detailed steps pls.

Your help will be appreciated!

You can try the following steps.

Right click Computer--Management--Computer management--doublr click save--disc management (doublr click)--right click the disc you want to modify the name--then choose the name ot path of the drive.

Hope it can do you a favor!

I am not the original poster but I can tell you why I wanted to change the drive letter of an external hard drive.
I use it for backup via Microsoft's Sync2Toy and did not want to have to redo all of the right folder drive paths.

A very OLD thread, now three years old.
