Re assigning drive letters
With an XP computer with multiple IDE hard drives and disk drives it is possible to re-assign the letter of any drive, except hard drive (HDD) C. So CD ‘D’ can be re-assigned the letter Z by right clicking my computer, selecting manage, selecting disk management, then action, then all tasks, then change drive letter and paths.
I’ve just fitted a couple of serial ATA (SATA) HDD’s, and some of these options are not available. You can still rename a CD drive, but no longer re-assign the letter of any SATA HDD. Also, on the tab that ‘change drive letter and paths’ used to be available with my old IDE HDD’s, a new command ‘go interactive’ is now available.
Anybody know why I can’t re-assign the drive letter of my SATA HDD and what this ‘go interactive command’ does?
