Make your CD-ROM drive
use a letter of your
choice. |
|
|
Windows identifies each
storage medium with a
letter. Typically, a CD-ROM
drive is assigned the first
letter after the last hard
drive's letter.
An example of a standard
drive-letter scheme might
look like this:
 | A: Floppy Disk
|
| B: Second
Floppy Disk (optional)
|
| C: Primary Hard
Drive |
| D: Secondary
Hard Drive (optional) |
| E:
CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW |
You can use as many drive
letters as there are letters
in the alphabet, if you'd
like. You can also customize
your computer by assigning a
letter to a CD-ROM, CD-R, or
CD-RW drive, if that letter
isn't already assigned
elsewhere.
To assign a drive letter
to your CD-ROM drive, follow
these steps:
- Single-click the Start
button, mouse-over
Settings, single-click the
Control Panel, and
double-click the System
icon.
- When the System
Properties box opens,
select the Device Manager
tab and make sure to check
the "View devices by type"
radio button.
- Double-click the
CD-ROM icon to expand the
list of CD-ROM(s)
installed.
- When the list expands,
double-click the CD-ROM
you wish to assign a new
letter to.
- In the CD-ROM Drive
Properties dialog box
select the Settings tab.
- To change the drive
letter, go to the
"Reserved drive letter"
field.
- You can assign a range
of letters or a single
letter by making the Start
and End letters the same.
- Select OK when
finished making the
change.
- You must restart your
computer to implement the
new drive letter.
