    Unable to reassign drive letter


    I have a clone disk that's currently assigned to E: and I would like to reset it to G: and unable to see "G:" in the options.

    Yet nothing else uses G:, so it's a mystery.

    MSI GT80 SLI running latest-greatest 21H1 *.1469 (that won't update to H2, which is a mystery in itself, but off-topic).

    Hello dictum,
    See if you can unassign E: then reassign it to G: using diskpart as they show in here:

    The G: assignment may be from a USB drive.

    These third party software may be useful to view and free drive letters:

    View / Change / Remove drive letters assignment in your system
    View any installed/connected USB device on your system

    Did you try updating via the ISO method yet ?
