You know very well that the Windows operating system starts the drive letter of the system partitions from C and designates the letter C as the drive letter of your system’s current operating system.<\/span><\/span> It also assigns a drive letter to the rest of the drives you see in the My Computer section, which does this from the letter C onwards, but you can also change these drive letters.<\/span><\/span> According to this tutorial, you can perform drive letters for any type of drive and partition, including DVD\/CD Rom, external hard drive, flash drive, SD Card<\/a>, hard disk partitions<\/a>, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
