e the order of letters assi

ned to other

partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop working. A detailed discussion of partition

4.2 Additional Partition Operations

Additional hard disk partition operations include some rarely used but useful

operations for converting partition file systems, hiding and unhiding partitions, setting

active partitions, changing root size and changing partition cluster size.

4.2.1 Changing partition letter

Some operating systems assign letters (C:, D:,…) to hard disk partitions at startup. They

are used by applications and operating systems to locate files on partitions.

Connecting an additional disk, as well as creating or deleting a partition on existing disks,

might change your system configuration. As a result, some applications might stop working

or user files might not be opened. To prevent this, you can change letters assigned by an

operating system.

If you need to change a letter assigned to a partition by an operating system:

1. Select the hard disk and partition on it.

2. Select Disk Æ Advanced Æ Change Letter or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar

list, or click

Change the logical drive letter on the toolbar.

3. Select a new letter in the Change letter window.
