    Question about my dv6000 (but applies to all notebooks)

    I've had an external drive that my notebook recognizes as an E:. That's the path where my iTunes updates my iPod. But one time I plugged in a flash drive first then my external and then from then on out, my external is changed to F:. How can I change it back to E:?

    Also, due to my bad spelling, I accidentally added "buisness" as a word. Is there a way to erase that from my computer's dictionary?

    Thanks.

    1. Plug in both of the devices.
    2. Right-click the Computer icon on the desktop and go to [Manage].
    3. Select the "Disk Management" snap-in on the left
    4. Right click one of the drives in question (E)
    5. Select "Change Drive Letters and Paths"
    6. Choose a letter like "Y" and apply it
    7. Back on the "Disk Management" screen, choose the other drive in question (F).
    8. Choose the drive letter for it that you want (E, right?).
    9. Now choose the first drive again and change its letter to F.

    Basically, you just switched the two around, using the third letter as a temporary holding location for the first letter as you switched.
