Currently my drive letters are as follows:

A - 3.5 Floppy
C - Local disk
D - DVD-RW Drive
E - DVD Drive
F - Local Disk (logical chunk of the C: drive)
G - Local Disk (USB)

All this appeared right after I partitioned the main C: drive into two using Acronis Disk director 10 software. But the thing wouldn't let me reassign drive letters (to reset them) so that I have C for the primary partition and D for the logical drive.

Is there any way to do this? Of course, not such a big deal, but would be nice.

You can do this in admin tools->computer management->disk management. Just right-click on the logical drive and reassign (if you want it to be D, reassign the dvd-rw drive to something other than D so that drive D becomes available for the logical drive).

i prefer the DOS route

run
cmd

diskpart
list volume
select volume # [replace # with the number of the volume you need to change]
assign letter X [replace the X with the drive letter you want]
exit
exit

if youre swapping to drive letters, then youll have to change one to something else first
