How do you change the drive letters within Windows 2000?
I have recently installed a Plextor cdrw and I wish to call these drives R: (reader) and W:(writer). Within Windows 98 all that was required was a change in the control panel settings, this option appears to be missing from the 2000 control panel. I cannot use the default drive letters as I have partitioned the HDD to use these letters

You need to right click on My Computer and choose Manage. Underneth storage is Disk Management - select this. From this you can select any drive, righjt click on it and choose - Change Drive Letter and Path. From the resulting dialog box select Editand choose the drive letter you want.

Hope this helps
