How do you change an external HD from the directory H to F?

It was originally F, and I added songs on it to my iTunes, but now it somehow changed it to H, making me lose all my file locations... I tried putting it into a different usb port but still no luck... I have a 4-in-1 usb hub and it says the one has the directory of F... Any help?How do you change an external HD from the directory H to F?
1) click start menu



2) right-click on ';computer';



3) choose ';manage';, this will launch ';computer management';



4) on the left-hand menu click ';disk management';, this will show you all hard disks (internal and external) connected to your system



5) find your hard disk H: and right-click on it and choose ';change drive letter and paths...';



6) with the H: drive highlighted, click 'change' button on bottom



7) use the drop down field to assign the drive letter back to ';F:';



*note: this is how you do it on vista and windows 7, if you are using windows xp it is extremely similar, from what I rememberHow do you change an external HD from the directory H to F?
thanks!

Try plugging it into each port. Every port is assigned a different letter.
start -%26gt; control panel -%26gt; administrative tools -%26gt; computer management -%26gt; disk management -%26gt;

left click on the drive that you want to change then -%26gt; change drive letters and paths...



do it only when you're know what you're doing! at least you ever enter control panel.

because near there got option format, clean disk etc, don't anyhow clicks.
every time you plug in a drive your computer assigns it a letter. usually it follows an alphabetical pattern(c,d,e,f, ect) so if something is plugged in that is using F then you have to unplug it. sometimes windows like to play tricks and give you some random letter, i forget if theres a way to change it but im sure there is, just google it
