Tip Of The Day. 7-02-09

 

Changing a Drive Letter in Windows XP.

 

Typically, when you insert an external storage device, such as an external hard drive, iPod or flash memory stick into your computer, Windows XP assigns the next available drive letter to the device automatically. You may want to reassign a different drive letter to a device. For example, for shortcuts to information on an external device, you want to ensure that the device reads the correct drive letter so that the shortcuts work.

 

1. Access the Windows XP Control Panel. Open "Administrative Tools," and then double-click on "Computer Management." Double-click to open "Disk Management." You can use whatever method makes you feel comfortable--such as double-clicking or using keyboard commands. When you select Disk Management, Windows XP may take a moment to connect to the Disk Management Tool. The devices appear in the right pane.

 

2. Right-click the device for which you want to change the drive letter. Click "Change Drive Letter and Paths," and then click "Change." Click the radio button next to "Assign the Following Drive Letter" to select it.

 

3. Select the drive letter that you want to assign from the drop-down list. Only available drive letters appear. Click "OK." A warning appears indicating that changing the drive letter might cause program problems.

 

4. Click "Yes" if you are certain that changing the drive letter will not cause any problems. If you do not receive any additional error messages, you have successfully changed the drive letter of your external device.

Technical Support is the basis of Internet Fixes and how we began. Starting off with a basic listing of software and hardware support links, I have grown to a site containing some of the most complete free listings of various technical information and support. I currently offer support in the below fields.

 

Dictionary - Computers and computer related products are notorious for their obscure language and acronyms, which is why having a dictionary is so helpful. My dictionary lists many of the computer related terms that link to related terms and categories, making it one of the best locations to locate a definition or meaning to a computer related term. See my dictionary by clicking here.

 

Downloads - The Internet and companies are always changing; therefore, we have created a great location to locate helpful and useful software for your computer and computer products. In addition to downloads, users can also link to our driver listing, which has a great listing of where to locate drivers for your computer products. See our downloads and drivers by clicking here.

 

News - For those of you who love to keep up to date with the latest computer news, Internet Fixes has a great new section that is updated at least daily with the latest computer news, and contains an archive of all the old computer news. See our main news section by clicking here.

 

Newsletter - The computer industry never stops evolving and it can be difficult to keep up with the changes as well as the latest news, which is why we developed our Internet Fixes newsletter. Our newsletter is distributed weekly and contains a weekly computer dictionary term and definition, weekly computer news, weekly virus, security, and privacy threats, what's new at Internet Fixes and an all talk section where we list the latest innovations and information. View past newsletters by clicking here. Subscribe to my Newsletter by clicking here.

 

Forums - Online forums that enable Internet Fixes users to communicate with each other and talk about computer and help each other with their computer related questions. Visit our online forums by clicking here.

 

Chat - Online / IRC chat service that enables users to connect to an IRC chat room either through the web or their favorite IRC client and talk with Internet Fixes and other Internet Fixes users live. Visit the chat room by clicking here.  My Chat Room has been moved inside of the forum. You have to be logged into the Forum before the Chat Room Link appears.
