I had to reinstall a new hard drive. Once I did my
bootable drive is now F: and my second (smaller storage
drive) is now C:

How do I rename the drive path for all of my 4 drives?

You can change any of the drive letters in Disk Management except the boot
drive, your stuck with F.

Hi Kirk,

You can change any drive letter EXCEPT the system drive using Disk Manager
(start/run diskmgmt.msc).

Relettering the system drive requires reformatting and starting all over.
Before you try it, detach the device that was enumerated "C" in the current
installation. Zip drives are known to cause this issue.
