BitLocker: How to change drive letter S:

[Guest Robinio]

I installed BitLocker using MS "BitLocker Preparation Tool". Now S: is my

system partition and I cannot change this drive letter. Since we use software

that wants some data being located on S: I need to change this letter. I

found no 'regular' way to do this.

 

Would it help if I disable BitLocker, use letter S: for example CD-ROM or

something and then (when S: would not be available any more) re-install

BitLocker? Then I could change CD-ROM letter back to whatever and use S: for

this software.

 

Best regards,

Robinio

Botted with Vista CD and repaired boot configuration. This obviously removed

'system' from this partition so I could remove it with device manager. Now

everithing is as it was before BitLocker.

Next time if you just want to change the drive letter of the boot partition

you can do it through the registry:

Just rename \DosDevices\S: to \DosDevices\M: for example. If you reboot

your system the drive letter will be changed to M: instead of S:.
