External HD drive letter

Can anyone tell me how I can go about renaming it?? It was originally my F drive. I was copying some info from a friends external to it and now it's labled itself G and I can't get any of the music that's on it to play in Media Player because it's all labled F. I REALLY don't want to relabel 45,000 songs, so any advice would be appreciated.

What version of Windoze?

 

XP sorry.. i forget sometimes that you guys can't read minds. lol.

 

That's ok.

- Right click on your My Computer. Choose Manage.
- Click Disk Management on the left hand side
- On the top right you should see each hard drive connected to your system
- Right click your drive and go to "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
- Select your drive and click Change
- Assign whatever drive letter you want

If F: is in use, which I'm betting it is, change your F to Z, change your G to F, and your Z back to G, or whatever.

Make sure you shut down Windows Explorer, My Computer, or any other program accessing any drive that you want to change.

 

thanks!! you rock!
