Windows: Changing an External Hard Drive's Drive Letter

Windows: Changing an External Hard Drive's Drive Letter I'm trying to resolve a file path error problem with TortoiseSVN in this question on Stack Overflow. One of the answers suggested trying to change the drive letter of my external hard drive. How can I change the drive letter for a USB device?

"I actually put this on SO for you :)

But here goes again: You can use Window's Disk Management Utility. Just right-click the drive and change Drive Letter IIRC."

"you can use the USB Drive Letter Manager for Windows

USBDLM is a Windows service that gives
you control over Window's drive letter
assignment for USB drives. Running as
service makes it independent of user
privileges, so there is no need to
give the users the privilege to change
drive letters.

It automatically solves conflicts
between USB drives and network or
subst drives of the currently logged
on user.

Furthermore you can define new default
letters for USB drives and much more.

USBDLM is freeware.

p.s.: USBDLM is a REAL blessing if you have a lot of USB drives to manage!"
