Windows 10: Can i change a drive letter from os c: to f: and it will revert everything to the f:

Please someone help me.....it was an accident to begin with and it messed up my access to my portable in the f: altogether

:)

 

Help! Local Drive changed from C to F


A re-install is going to be your best bet. You can't re-assign the drive letter on a boot volume while it is in use. You would need to boot into a recovery disk or partition to do that. Once in the recovery media you would type

• diskpart
• list disk (to get available disks)
• select disk #
• list vol (to get currently available volumes)
• select vol # (for the volume you want to change)
• assign letter=C

The problem with this is you could potentially screw up the whole system if there are any registry paths that are pointing to F:\... for critical files as well as the BCD store may also point to F:\.....

 

f drive

Hello Kathy,

Based on the information you have provided in your post; we need to do further investigation. To assist you better, we'd like to know the following:

• Have you tried using a third party software to manage the disk partition?
• Did you format the drive?

We suggest that you check for the drive in the Disk Management and look if it appears. Follow these steps:

• Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
• Press Windows+R key and type diskmgmt.msc and then click OK.

Look if the Drive F: appears and check if it is unallocated.

Looking forward to your update.
