I looked into Disk Management to change some drive letters around. I've never done it before and I got a warning so I cancelled out of it before changing anything. I just want to change a couple letters around so I can group things together. Like instead of my second storage drive being E, I want to switch that to D and the D drive to E. That way D will be next to C and E will be next to my virtual drives F, G, and H. Is there an issue making these changes?
Thanks

As long as you don't have any applications installed on those drives there isn't any problem switching drive letters.

This is another reason why we told you in the other thread that separating your data isn't a good idea. Anywho, you can change any drive other than the system volume. As long as the letter you want it currently free, it's fine. The warnings are usually referring to programs installed on that drive, and how the path would change if the drive letter changes. It's your system, so you should know if this affects the drive in question or not. If all of your apps and games are installed to C:, then it's a non-issue.
