Disk 0, Disk 1, Disk 2 and stuff like that

In computer management my C: Drive is currently listed as Disk 1. My second internal drive (F is currently listed as Disk 2. My external drive (G is currently listed as Disk 0.

I would prefer this:

C: Disk 0
F: Disk 1
G: Disk 2

Is there a way I can change these? Like maybe going into the BIOS?

The BIOS assigns the DISK#

I wouldn't mess with it...
If they are SATA drives, you need to move the cables to the different ports.
Id they are IDE drives - leave em alone

I'm not entirely sure that is what I want to do. That article talks about changing drive letters. I don't want to make my F Drive C.

I want to rearrange.

So Disk 0 is now System Reserved and the rest of the C Drive.
Disk 1 is now my F Drive.
Disk 2 is now my G Drive.

All I did was to remove my solid state Intel Drive and replace it with a mechanical Seagate Drive. I plugged in the power and data cables exactly as they were plugged into the Intel Drive.

There should be no need to go inside the computer and swap cables around.
