    Default Drive letters

    I run a 4 Drive Windows 8.1 system
    1 x 500Gb SSD
    3 x 2TB SATA

    I recently changed one of the 2TB SATA for a 3TB SATA
    By default the new 3TB registered on the system as Drive I and I want it at Drive D but for some reason Computer Management is taking (for whatever reason) an inordinate amount of time to display the system, it appears stuck on 'Loading disk configuration information.... ' but i'm getting no error messages yet.

    Is there another way of changing drive letters other than Computer Management - regedit or similar??
    cheers
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Panicked in error - found a REGEDIT fix

    Disk Management - Computer management = same thing, but thanks. All fixed now
