changing the harddrive location

[Nia]

Hi guys,

I've got a problem, I have an external harddrive that I have to plug in to start up every time I switch on my laptop. Normally its location is G. But I've been fiddling with virtual drives and now its location has changed from G to O. I have programs that run from G, so I need to change it back or I'll have to reinstall a whole lotta programs. I tried removing the virtual drives, but it didn't change back the location. So any help on this would really be appreciated, I really don't know what else to do. Also, I think this is a hardware problem, but now I'm not so sure its not a software problem, so sorry if it's misplaced.

In the right hand side Right click on your external drive and select "Change Drive letter and path.."
Click the Change button and select "G" from the drop down menu
Ok out of there
