IIRC, you'll have to reboot before step (3), because "e:" was already
in use before you began relettering.
Good point! I have been reading about driver letter changing on google
and just read that to make the changes take effect, I need to reboot.
The lettering changes should take place immediately; I don't remember
having to reboot just because I made some simple changes, like changing a
CD-ROM from "f:" to "z:".
But I didn't realize that I would need to do the above step with a
reboot before step 3.
If a drive letter is in use, you can assign the partition a different
letter. The catch is that to assign another partition to that (original)
letter, you must reboot first.
That is, if I remember correctly. In any case, Microsoft will tell you
what it requires you to do.
I have done it numerous times under Windows 2000. If I were using
WinXP -- and fortunately, I'm not -- I would do it without hesitation,
but my opinion is not a guarantee of success.
