Changing the drive letter is still really easy in Windows 8 – unless of course you are running into the “incorrect parameter” error
What Are Drive Letters?
Drive letters identify each hard drive partition on your PC. By default, all the Windows operating systems assign the letter C to the partition, where the operating system is installed. The other drives are labeled D,E,F etc but can be changed individually.
If you want to change the default drive letters, e.g. suppose you want to change a drive letter to the initial of your name or “S” for that drive, which is dedicated to songs/music only, then follow the steps below to customize the drive letter quickly
