On Windows 10, when connecting a removable storage device or an internal hard drive, the system detects and assigns a drive letter automatically to make it usable. However, when reconnecting an external drive (such as a USB flash drive or SD or microSD cards), the system can end up assigning a different letter, which can be annoying.
If you want to see the same drive letter on a particular device, you can manually assign a permanent letter to any drive connected to your computer, and on Windows 10, you can do this in at least three different ways, using Disk Management, Command Prompt, or PowerShell.
Using this approach will prevent Windows 10 from assigning a new letter or trying to set a letter already in use, which can cause conflicts. Also, it helps to select a drive letter that makes more sense to you.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through several methods to manually assign a permanent letter to a drive, as long as you're connecting the drive to the same device and the letter isn't already in use.
How to assign a drive letter using Disk Management
To manage drive letters with the Disk Management tool, use these steps:
- Open Start.
- Search for Create and format hard disk partitions and click the top result to open the Disk Management experience.
- Right-click the drive and select the Change Drive Letter and Paths option.
- Click the Change button.
- Select the Assign the following drive letter option.
- Use the drop-down menu to assign a new drive letter.Quick tip: To avoid the system trying to assign the same letter to another drive, it's a good idea to start adding letters in backward order. For instance, instead of using D, E or F, it better to start with Z, Y or X when assigning a new letter.
- Click the OK button.
- Click the OK button again.
Once you complete these steps, the drive will permanently retain the assigned letter, even after reconnecting it. However, if you connect the drive to another device, it may receive a different letter.
How to assign a drive letter using Command Prompt
While the easiest way to assign a new drive letter is to use Disk Management, you can also use DiskPart in Command Prompt to perform the same task.
To assign a drive letter using Command Prompt, use these steps:
- Open Start.
- Search for Command Prompt, right-click the result, and then select the Run as administrator option.
- Type the following command to start DiskPart and press Enter:
diskpart
- Type the following command to list all the available volumes and press Enter:
list volume
- Type the following command to select the volume (drive) to assign a new letter and press Enter:
select volume 3
In the command, make sure to change '3' to the number that represents the drive on your device. - Type the following command to assign a new drive letter, and press Enter:
assign letter=Z
The command assigns the letter 'Z' to the drive assuming it's available. However, you need to make sure to change the letter for the one that you want to use.
After completing these steps, similar to Disk Management, every time you reconnect the storage to the same device, Windows 10 should assign the same letter automatically.
How to assign a drive letter using PowerShell
Alternatively, you can also use PowerShell to change a drive letter on Windows 10 using these steps:
- Open Start.
- Search for PowerShell, right-click the result, and then select the Run as administrator option.
- Type the following command to list the available drives and press Enter:
Get-Disk
- Type the following command to assign a permanent letter to the drive and press Enter:
Get-Partition -DiskNumber 1 | Set-Partition -NewDriveLetter Z
In the command, make sure to change '1' to the number that represents the drive that you want to modify, and change 'Z' for the new letter that you want to use.
Once you complete the steps, the drive will be accessible through File Explorer using the letter that you assigned, and Windows 10 won't try to change it.
Updated March 7, 2019: We revised this guide to make sure it's current with the latest version of Windows 10.

It’s possible to change the letter assigned to a storage device. The question remains: Why would you want to? Don’t change a drive letter “just because,” though! Randomly reassigning drive letters can lead to unimaginable woe, especially if a program is installed on a drive and you change the drive’s letter. End of warning. Here’s how to assign a storage device a new drive letter:
- Ensure that you’re not using the drive.Make sure no files are open on that drive and no programs are being run from the drive; not even folder windows from the drive are open.
- Open the Control Panel.
- Open the Administrative Tools window.
- In Windows 7, choose System and Security and then choose Administrative Tools.
- In Windows Vista, choose System and Maintenance and then choose Administrative Tools.
- In Windows XP, open the Administrative Tools icon.
- In the Administrative Tools window, open the Computer Management icon.In Windows Vista, click Continue or type the administrator’s password.The Computer Management window appears.
- On the left side of the window, choose Disk Management.It’s beneath the Storage heading.
- Right-click the storage media you want to modify.The storage media are listed by drive letter in the upper center part of the window.
- Choose the command Change Drive Letter or Paths from the shortcut menu.A Change Drive Letter or Paths dialog box appears. It sports the icon and letter for the drive you selected and lists any associated drive letters and pathnames.
- Click the Change button.The Add Drive Letter or Path dialog box appears.A warning dialog box appears if you attempt to change the system drive, such as drive C, or the drive where Windows is installed. Click OK and then Cancel, and then choose another drive.
- Choose a new drive letter from the drop-down list.Only drive letters not currently used by other devices or network drives are available. Because of the limitations of the Latin alphabet, only 26 drive letters are available.
- Click OK.An important warning appears. Some programs rely on consistent drive letters. For example, older software may always insist that the optical drive have the same letter now as it did when the program was installed. Changing the drive letter means that the program cannot find itself and will then refuse to run.
- If you want to proceed, click Yes to confirm that you read the warning.Oblivion original soundtrack download music. Copyright © 1997-2006 by RAD Game Tools, Inc. Uses Bink Video.The drive is instantly assigned a new letter. Further, a new window opens, displaying the drive’s contents.
- Close any windows that remain opened.
To reset the drive letter, just repeat these steps. You can assign and reassign drive letters all the do-dah day.
See Video 622 for an onscreen demonstration of changing a drive letter.
- It is not advisable to change the drive letter on an internal drive — including internal hard drives, optical drives, and any memory card readers you might have installed. Doing so may screw up previously installed programs.
- Be careful when you work with storage media on a technical level! You can easily and irreparably damage the media, losing data stored there. That’s a bad thing, especially for your PC’s main hard drive. Back up your data!
- The drive used by Windows is known as the system drive. Its drive letter cannot be reassigned while Windows is running, nor is there really any reason to do so.
How to show android phones and tablet devices as drive letter in Computers, enable debugging mode on android devices
You may accidentally deleted photos videos and other files from android phones like samsung galaxy, LG Optimus, HTC One, Sony Xperia, Motorola droid, or android talbet devices, and need to recover deleted files from the android device. However, the android phone or tablet does not detected by photo recovery software and data recovery program.
In this artilce, we will discuss some possible ways to enable mass storage device in android phone and tablet device, so that file recovery program can detect the android device.
Method 1. Check the settings in android devices to enable mass storage
In android device, go to: Settings -> Wireless & Wifi -> USB Tools -> Connec USB mass storage to PC.
In android device, go to: Settings -> Wireless & Wifi -> USB Tools -> Connec USB mass storage to PC.
Method 2. If above settings not exist, or android phone (or tablet device) does not shown as a drive letter in Windows computer.
Try enable debugging mode first
1) For Android 2.3 or earlier: Enter 'Settings' > Click 'Applications' > Click 'Development' > Check 'USB debugging'
2) For Android 3.0 to 4.1: Enter 'Settings' > Click 'Developer options' > Check 'USB debugging'
3) For Android 4.2 or newer (e.g. Android 5.0 Lollipop):
Enter 'Settings' > Click 'About Phone' > Quickly Tap 'Build number' for several times (some people say 7 times) until getting a note 'You are under developer mode'
> Back to 'Settings' > Click 'Developer options' > Check 'USB debugging'.

Still have problem, try a more complicated method which requires root.
The Requirements
1. A rooted Android phone, (try to root with a non-destructive method as this appears to protect those who must root from wiping the device data a second time),
2. BusyBox installed on your device,
3. Cygwin installed to [c:cygwin] with pv and util-linux from the repo. Make sure to open Cygwin once to make sure that the /bin folder is created. Also, I made a folder at [c:cygwinnexus] to put the exported .RAW file,
4. Netcat (download the ZIP file and extract nc.exe to [c:cygwinbin]),
5. ADB (make sure adb.exe is in your path),
6. USB Debugging enabled on your device,
7. VHD tool from the mighty M$. Put the VhdTool.exe file in [c:cygwinnexus]
The Work
1. Turn on your phone
2. Connect the phone in ADB mode
3. Unlock the screen.
4. Open a Cygwin terminal and enter (This assumes your BusyBox installation is at [/system/bin/busybox]. It may be at [/system/xbin/busybox]):
5. Open another Cygwin terminal and enter:
6. Run around the house a few times. For 32GB internal memory this is going to take 3+ hours. That's a lot of running. When it's done..
7. We need to convert the .RAW file to a virtual hard drive. VhdTool.exe basically just puts a VHD footer on the end of the .RAW file. Open a Windows command prompt, go to [c:cygwinnexus], and type:
8. Now we need to mount the VHD in Windows. Select the Start button-->right-click Computer-->select Manage.
9. Select Storage-->Disk Management.
10. In the menu select Action-->Attach VHD.
11. For Location enter [c:cygwinnexusmmcblk0p12.raw] and select the OK button.
12. Right-click on the name (e.g. 'Disk 1') to the left of the Unallocated space and select Initialize Disk.
13. Select the GPT (GUID Partition Table) radio button and select the OK button.
14. Right-click on the Unallocated space and select New Simple Volume..
15. In the Wizard select Next>, leave the default for the volume size, select Next>, select a drive letter (e.g. K), select Next>, MAKE SURE to select the 'Do not format this volume' radio button, select Next>, select Finish.
16. A box will pop up asking you to format the drive. You DO NOT want to format the drive at this time.
17. Right-click on the RAW space and select Format.. MAKE SURE to change the File system to FAT32. Set the Allocation unit size dropdown to 'Default.' MAKE SURE that the Perform a quick format checkbox is CHECKED. You do not want to overwrite the entire new drive with all zeroes (0's) and destroy your data. Quick Format means that it will only attempt to destroy the index for the drive by establishing a new index. Without this box checked the Windows operating system will write zeroes (0's) across the entire volume, potentially destroying your data. Select the OK button.
18. A box will pop up saying that Formatting this volume will erase all data on it. That would be doubly true if you actually didn't check the 'Perform a quick format' checkbox. Double check that you actually did check the box and select the OK button. (Don't worry. This essentially leaves the volume in the exact same state that your phone's internal memory is living in right now: there is data on the drive..)
