Registry edits for shares

Hi all,

I have this server and the drive died,  I replaced the drive but somehow Windows has not released the D drive.  I now have all the data back and just would like to edit the drive path for the shares.  

WHere in the registry can I get this taken care of to go from the D drive to the new E: Drive?

After editing the value the new share path is not yet active.
You can activate it by restarting the server or by restarting a Windows service called "Server". Please note that by restarting this "Server" service all clients which are connected to the server will lose their connection
Have you tried to change the drive letter in Disk Management?
