Hi , i had the same problem and followed NetBoy's instructions, they worked great for me ! thanks NetBoy! first problem i had in swapping the letters was that it was already reading A: and wouldnt let it change , so try changing A: to Z: then change B: to A: and now you can change your original A: (which is now Z :) over to B:. hope you can understand what im getting at , but thats the way it worked for me . remember to restart the machine when youre done and hey presto! your B: drive has now turned into A:
