SP3 Renamed My Drive!!!

Yesterday I finally upgraded from Windows XP Service Pack 2 to SP3 and now my
external drive is renamed an H drive, no longer F. This wouldn't be that
much of a problem except certain functions, such as my screen saver (no
biggie) and iTunes (biggie) are associated with the files as being in F, not
in H. How did that happen and do you know if there would be a way to rename
it back to F?

I know this should be the largest problem anyone ever has with their
computer, but I'm really not thrilled about reinstalling all my files (over
10 GBs) back into iTunes when they're in the order I like them in now (I can
hear you laughing), and I am not too sure I like the way my computer is
reacting to SP3.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

See my response to your identical post made earlier.
( You can use google or built in help to figure out what to do with the
advice. ;-) )

Stanley,
Sorry for the duplicity. Seems the first one didn't go through, but now I
see it did.

Okay, never mind. I shut down the external, rebooted it up, was able to
rename it and so far haven't seen the error pop up. Hopefully this is the
end of the problem.

Thank you for your assistance.
