Question W2K and Drive Letters

When I installed W2K, I made a 10gig partition and the remainder of the 30gig HDD was not allocated.
I since went to Disk Management and made a 2nd partition. My drive letters are C:, D: cd-rom, and E: second partition.
After searching around in Disk Management and Device Manager, I cannot find where to change the D: and E: letters to D: second partition and E: cd-rom.
TIA
Carl

Try right clicking on the drive/partition in disk management to change the drive letters.

liljimmie,
I probably went the long way, but it would not let me change to a letter already in use. So made the cd-rom R: for reader which then freed up the letter to use for the second partition. Went back and renamed cd-rom E: as then that drive letter was now free.
Long way to do it?
Carl
