you do not have access rights to logical disk manager

I get this error when I want to simply change the drive letter of a USB drive. I am using XP and I have searched to try and find help but it seems I cannot find XP specific help. I see help for 2000 and Professional and SP3. I am XP SP2. Please help with what I can do. I am logged in as Administrator.

 

Hello, try giving this a read, http://johnlamansky.com/tech/change-drive-letter/

 

Side Note to NickT: Thanks for that tip.

Great webpage describing the process. Never knew changing the drive letter was even possible.

Thanks again!

Good Luck -- COMP

 

Thanks but that is not the issue here.

I know how to change the drive letter, that is not the problem.

"you do not have access rights to logical disk manager" is the problem.

 

Sorry NEWTOSATANEEDHELPWITHSATA, I read your post wrong. plodr is correct about the SP2 problem, I was trying to find you a fix for that since you seemed like you didn't want to upgrade your Service Pack to SP3. My apologize again.
@COMPUABLE, you're welcome.

 

No problems. Yeah, I do not think I want to upgrade right now and I did read about the SP3 support ending date. There really is no way to fix this? I do not understand it. I fixed the drive change issue without changing it, that was extremely minor and definitely not the issue. I wanted to be able to do things as Administrator and correct that problem.
