rename local disks

I recently did a clean install of XP on the C drive partition of my PC. Strangely it is now recognising the other two drives (partitions) as D and E, whereas before the install they were E and F.
If I boot from any other drive than C they show up like normal E and F, how they always were.

This in itself is not a major problem but it is confusing certain programs which I run from different partitions at different times...namely my music sequencing programs. I have to search for the sample sets I use as the program remembers the location you last pointed to....of course the path name changes from F:/whatever/whatever to E:/whatever/whatever depending on what drive I'm running it from.

Have tried right clicking/rename the drives...but this does not change the drive letter.

Any help is massively appreciated...Im a noob so please put it into laymans terms for me. Thanks.:confused

 

Re: rename local dicks

Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and select Disk Management. Right click on a drive and select "Change Drive Letters ...".
