Do U get any of these error:

Quote:
The volume volume_label drive_letter is currently in use.
If you continue, the new drive letter will be assigned; but you can still use the old drive letter to access the volume until you restart your computer. The old drive letter will not be available for assignment until you restart.

Warning: Changing the drive letter of a volume could cause programs to no longer run.

If you continue, the drive letter will be freed; however, it will still be available for use until you restart your computer.

You haven't mentioned what OS you are using but I'll assume its windows XP. Go to control panel and open Administrative Tools->Computer management, and in that disk management system.
Right click on the partitions to change drive letter. Start by naming the last drive Z to free up the letters and slowly change drive by drive. Its a little like Rubiks cube but you'll get it
