then browse to the location depicted in below picture.
-You can only assign the letters D to Z to each drive on your computer.
-The letters A and B are usually reserved for floppy disk drives. If you do not have a floppy disk drive installed, then you could assign A and B to a drive, partition, or volume if you like. However, it's not recommended to assign A and B to anything other than a floppy or floppy substitute.
-The letter C is reserved for the drive or partition that the operating system (Windows 7 or Vista) is installed on. If you multi boot operating systems, then whatever OS that you happen to startup in will always show as the C drive by default. You do not want to change or remove the C: drive letter.
-If you change or remove a drive letter of a drive, partition, or volume that a shortcut or installed program references as their target location, then that shortcut or program may not work afterwards since it can no longer find that drive letter. Source
