I have my 1TB SATA II hard drive partitioned as New Volume (C:) and Data File (E:). I have these partitions backed up to my WD My Book 2 TB external drive. My problem is that I did not know enough to assign the external drive a drive letter when I started backing up. Now when I go to My Computer all I can get is the two backed up files and can’t use the external HDD for anything else. How can I assign a File Drive letter to my external drive? Every thing is also cloned to another WD My Book with the same situation so I can afford to lose this data on the drive in question if necessary, but had rather not.

Open windows explorer.
Find Computer, or My Computer, right click, select Manage.
Select Disk Management.
Right click any drive and you can change the drive letter.
