Answer 1

Open Disk Management.

1. Right-click on the volume
2. Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
3. Click "Change"
4. Assign your preferred drive letter
5. Click "OK"

[You'll need to first free up the C: letter > Change the current C: drive to another unused letter > Then assign C: to your Windows drive (currently G:)]

Hi, I'm Henry! I will help you with this.

It sounds frustrating to have your drive letters suddenly change! This can happen due to system updates, external drive connections, or corrupted volume information. Here are a few ways to fix it:

1. Using Disk Management:

• Right-click the Start button and select Disk Management.
• Locate the affected drive, right-click it, and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.
• Click Change, select the correct letter, and confirm.

2. Using Command Prompt (DiskPart):

• Open Command Prompt as administrator.
• Type diskpart and press Enter.
• Type list volume to see all drives.
• Select the affected drive using select volume X (replace X with the correct number).
• Type assign letter=C (or the correct letter) and press Enter.

3. Using Windows PowerShell:

• Open PowerShell as administrator.
• Run Get-Partition to list all partitions.
• Use Set-Partition -DriveLetter G -NewDriveLetter C (adjust letters accordingly).

If the issue keeps happening, consider checking for system updates or running CHKDSK /F to fix potential disk errors.
