Swapping drive letters
If I have a new disk E: that will replace a current disk D: is it possible to exchange D: and E: or do I need to do it in three steps? That is rename D: to say H:, then E: to D: then H: to E: ?

I want to swap the disks. At the moment the new (currently E:) 1.5TB drive is a file copy of my old (currently D:) 500GB drive. I want to have the 1.5TB as D: and then re-use my old drive for other data once I know the new drive is settled in as D:
There is no OS on the original drive or the new (copy).

What you want to do is very easy, and you don't need to use a product like Disk Director to do it. Simply open Disk Management console in Windows and do exactly like you said in your first post. It should take less than 30 seconds to swap the drive letters.

I ended up by using Disk Director to change drive D: (old) to (i:) and E: (new) to D: then did a Commit and then after all that was done, shut down again and removed the I: drive and that worked a treat.
Thanks. I just wished that the Migrate Easy hadn't stuffed me up in the first place when I decided that would be a good way to copy the old-new drive.
