    Hello,
    I'm trying to change the drive letter of a harddrive (not the system drive) using the Disk Management tool, but it just hangs up and doesn't change.
    I need to change the letter so Premiere will be able to link up all the video footage on the drive.
    I've never had problems with this before. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Windows XP SP3
    250gb system drive
    320gb hdd
    500gb hdd for media (the drive in question)
    Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
    Athlon X2 4200
    GeForce 8600 GT
    Antec 450 watt psu

    If it's a USB-conected drive, then you can try USBDLM instead.

    All the drives are internal SATA. Is there a separate app for that maybe?

    I took the drive out and connected it with an external USB adapter, and that did the trick! For some reason, it refused to change the drive letter when it was inside the computer.
    Now it's back inside and the letter is changed and everything is hunkey dorey.
