    Hi bebuzz62. Take a look here, How to change, add, or remove a drive letter.

    Not that simple I fear - you cannot change the drive letter of the drive on which Windows is installed without an enormous amount of hassle - if at all.

    I am assuming that bebuzz now has Windows on E:\

    From the URL posted ....

    98% of your stuff will work ok if Windows is on E drive...Only real way to fix it is to format and start over.

    Make sure you don't have any flash drives plugged in when you install Windows.
