Looked at all the other posts and this question re drive letter ab

I've read through all the posts and this one is not here: can't change my F:
drive letter.

It is not my boot drive. C: is where I have windows loaded.

However, it might be a system drive? Is there a way to find out.

So I just want to change the drive letter. I go to Manage, choose that
partician, choose change drive letter to "H:" and I get an internal error??
saying:

The Operation was canceled due to an internal error.


I have a RAID Array, Mirror only, with two 160G drives. Intel Chip and
board. 1 Gig Mem, and 3G Processor. I dont thing this is relavent, but who
knows!

Help?

Can I do this in DOS?
Can I Add or Remove the drive and then assign a letter to it? There is a
lot of Data on the drive that I do not want to lose so no errors can me made
if I might lose the data.

Help to someone smarter than me!

also, if you are afraid of losing data, then back it up to tape or a usb
external drive prior to changing the drive letters.

I realize this is a very old post, but it was one of the only good results on a google search for the error "The operation was canceled due to an internal error" while trying to change drive letters.

I'm a server admin & was having this exact same issue.

I realized that the reason it wasn't able to change was that the pagefile was on that drive. Moving the pagefile to another drive solved it for me.

Hope this helps someone else :).
