Windows OS users know that they have two amazing tools for managing
the disks and partitions--Disk Management and Diskpart. The Disk Management tool in
Windows gives you an easy-to-use graphical interface which can manage disk only with
mouse-clicking. While Diskpart is a tool that you can manage your disk or partition on
the command prompt quickly. To assign letter to drive, you can use both Disk Management
and Diskpart. If you want to change the drive letter quickly, the Diskpart utility makes
it easy.
Assign drive letter with CMD
To assign, change, or remove a drive letter, you can use the Windows interface of
Disk Management, or use the command line on the prompt of Diskpart. Diskpart is a
built-in tool that you can use to manage your hard drive, like format disk partition, create partition, delete partition, etc.
well, how to assign drive letter with Diskpart?
Step 1. To use a command line, you need to open the command line
first. Click Start, type “cmd” at the search box and right click the program, select
“Run as Administrator”, or press “WIN+R”, type “cmd” and press Enter. Then, type
“diskpart” to start.
Step 2. Type list volume and press Enter. Here you should know the
number of the simple volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or
remove.

Step 3. Select volume n and press Enter. Here you can select the
volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.

Step 4. Then, if you want to assign or change the drive letter, type
“assign letter=R”.

If you want to remove the drive letter, type “remove letter=R”.

Therefore, you have already assign, change, or remove a drive letter. And you can
type list volume to see the details.
Actually, you may assign drive letter when you create a new one. For that, you need
to create partition first. After
create partition, type “assign letter=?” to that partition. Or, if there is some
volume hidden, it will not have the drive letter, to unhide it, you need to assign a
drive letter for it. Thus, Diskpart may have a little bit complex. Fortunately,
there is another easier and simpler way, which could save a lot of steps.
