Finally bit the bullet and bought a ZenBook.

Windows 8 isn't quite as traumatic as I was expecting - especially with
the addition of Start8.

I re-partitioned the 500-gig drive into C: System and Z: Data, splitting
the space about fifty-fifty.

What I want, though, is to have that Data partition have the drive
letter D:, but somebody's using the designation "D:" for one of the
drives and I can't figure out how to free it up.

I'm guessing it's one of those un-lettered partitions as shown in this
screen snap of DiscManager: http://tinyurl.com/mv4gofs and Windows 8,
for some reason, isn't showing letters.


Anybody have an idea of how to get to the bottom of this?

It's right there in the screen cap that you posted. Your DVD drive is
currently using "D:".

Right click on the DVD drive and change its drive letter to something else,
then you'll be able to right click on your data partition and change its
letter to D:.


Exactly. Look at mine;
