We have a Windows 2000 Advance Server that is currently using SAN storage for it's "E" Data drive. The SAN works fine and gets along very well with the server. However, the end user needs to make some local drive modifications thus causing a need to change the drive letter for the SAN storage from "E" to "T". Windows 2000 disk manager will not let you do this. I am not that familiar with SAN storage and need to know how the drive letter can be changed, and if it is possible without the loss of data.
 
SAN has nothing to do here... Windows is the one who must change it. SAN is just connectivity and storage resouce, but how the OS use the LUNs is a OS problem.

What is the error you get? I guess the drive letter is locked some how or you set persistent binding (HBA configuration).

Cheers.
