Win 7 renaming drives
I want to rename the assigned drives to my card readers.
NOT partitions! I have no idea why, but the system assigned the drives from the start leaving a blank spot between the disk drives and card readers. So I have C: - OS D: - Recovery E: - DVD F: - blank G: - blank H: - card reader I: - Card reader I want to change H: to F: and I: to G:. When I set up the partitions, the first drive letter assigned was J:. In disk management, I can rename partitions of hard drives, but not rename any stuff like the card readers. Is there any way of renaming the card readers? |

Is there any way of renaming the card readers? That sounds weird to me, as I can change the drive letters with card readers in Windows 7. But it doesn't matter what Windows wants to assign them if you have either USB Safely Remove or Zentimo. Both are neither free and by the same developers. Both will let you hide card readers drive letters too if nothing is inserted in them. Safely Remove Hardware better alternative http://safelyremove.com/ Zentimo is an external storage manager http://zentimo.com/ -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 2GB - Windows XP SP2 |

Is there any way of renaming the card readers? I think I understand what's going on now. Actually, I have four card readers. In disk management, the drive appears only when there is a card in the slot. So F: and G: are mainly for the card readers. Unless something else comes along and demands the slot. |

There's 4 built-in card readers on my Win 7 computer, and I can change the drive letters with no cards in the readers. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.6.8 Firefox 12.0 Thunderbird 12.0.1 LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 |

Is there any way of renaming the card readers? You can just right-click on the empty removable disk icon on the left-hand side where it says H: and I: and you will have the option of changing drive letter and path. You don't need to have actual media in there. Yousuf Khan |

Probably, if you mean that they are responsible for programming in the logic to detect new drives, then yes. But most likely if they appeared then it was because you plugged a USB drive into it at some point. Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan Despite being an Admin, I tried to delete one and had : An error occurred while ejecting 'Removable Disk J' There's no point in trying to delete the drive, it's there because it's attached to your system. Do you have some kind of a memory card reader on your system? Perhaps one that's built into another device like a printer or keyboard, etc.? Yousuf Khan |
