You can re-assign the disk letters using disk management, under the storage
subsection of the Computer Management MMC snapin. Admin Tools...Computer
Management.

Did you install the OS onto this hard disk? I might guess that you're
running the hard disk on a controller that is not directly supported by your
system bios, and the other devices are all on the standard Intel hdd
controllers.

You can re-assign drive letters, but not for the Boot partition, or the
System partition.

Bob, the disk is on a promise controller that is built on
my MB. Never any problems in the past. It a ASUS A7V133 if it helps.
