On my HP notebook, Windows 8, I have a 25-GB Recovery partition named D:. &nbsp;I just shrunk the C: partition to one-half its size. &nbsp;Now I'd like to create a new volume called &quot;Documents&quot; and name it D: &nbsp;But in order to do that I need to change the drive letter of the D: (Recovery) partition to something else. &nbsp;But when I right-click that partition in Computer Manage --&gt; Disk Management, all I get is the option for Help. &nbsp;When I right-click the C: drive, I have the option to change the drive letter.<br />
How can I change the drive letter for that D: partition to something other than D:, so I can use the D: letter for my new partition? &nbsp;I hope this is clear. &nbsp;Thanks.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
