You can use the Disk Management tool under Computer Management. I dunno how to get
to it directly, maybe you can help? I got to it by going to help, select Disk Management
and then right-select the drive and you can change drive letters (as long as it's
not being used already) I have a similar situation where my CD drive letter is D:
instead of E: since I want my back up drive to be D:. I think you may need to unplug
the data cable of the ZIP drive first, then reassign your hard drive, turn the computer
off and plug the ZIP back in and hopefully that'll work. I haven't tried this myself
but hopefully it works...
