Question: I have scripts that expect specific drive letters for hard drives. Windows sometimes assigns the different drive letters (e.g. I expected my Maxtor drive to be E:, but it’s now F:, therefore my scripts will fail), depending on the order of how the drives are plugged into my laptop.
In Windows 7, how do I assign a permanent drive letter to a drive?
Answer: You can do this in Computer Management without external tools. The interface is slightly different in Windows 7 but the location is the same.
Start -> Type compmgmt.msc and press Enter -> Storage -> Disk Management
or
Press Win + x and then press k to choose Disk Management.
