Even if its switched it should work.

You can switch it back by going into settings/control panel/admin
tools/ computer management/Disk management

Click on the drive with the right mouse button and choose change drive
letter.

If you want to change C D and D to C you obviously cant do it directly
cause theres already a C And D.

So lets say you want to change C to D. You click on D first and change
it to J which frees up D. Then you go back and change C to D.

Sometimes you have to refresh the reading or the freed up letter
doesnt show up or you get TWO of the same drive D & J for instance.
Sometimes you have to reboot to reread it properly.
