ZenBook: Who Is Sitting On "D:" ?

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:. This is rather strange. Everyone but me seems to be seeing a DVD drive in that screenshot. I see no such thing, only a Drive 0 with partitions C: and Z: and three unnamed ones, and an unnamed Drive 1 of 22.36GB. My prior reply to you is based on the above experience. Strange, I say :-) It's the drive below Drive 1, do you need to scroll the picture down? Right, I have a 360x270 screen :-) Read Ed Propes's post & my embarrassed replies. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Most welcome, glad I served some purpose today! Ed in E Texas |
