Computer Help (Hard Drives)

[_That_Cracka_J]

A few months back I had an external hard drive for my computer and I assigned it drive letter: E.  Later, I installed an internal hard drive and didn't think I'd need the external again, so I assigned it to letter E.  It let me do it because I didn't have the external connected at the time.

Well now I need my external drive and was wondering what would happen if I plugged it in and Windows sees that 2 hard drives are assigned the same letter.  What will happen?

it'll be ok...

one will get priority.. providing you have 2K or XP.. go to computer management and sort ya lettering out

it will automatically assign the next available letter to your external

my external used to be F: but then i partitioned my hard drive again so that took F:

then depending if i have my USB jump drive in the external is either G: or H:

Right-click MY COMPUTER -> "Manage" -> "Disk managment" on the left tree
Then right-click the disk you want to change, and "Change driver letters and paths"
