Today in the morning I turned on one of my desktop computers and I found some odd changes:

-An external Iomega hard drive that I had connected on my computer, it used to show up as "letter G" in "my computer" now it shows up as "letter J"

-"My Documents" folder was on this external hard drive, but I had a shorcut for it in my desktop, now everytime I click it I get an error message (probably because the letter for the external hard drive was renamed, but it's odd because it renamed itself I didn't do it)

-I had one of the folders iin my external hard drive as a "Share Documents Folder" now it's not like that anymore

Does anyone know why all these changes took place? and is it something I should be concerned about?

Like shanenin said it could be another drive messing with G

To change it back go to Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Computer Management

Then click Storage > Disk Management (Local)

Then Right Click the drive > Change Drive Letter and Paths for (DRIVE LETTER)

Remove the drive letter then click add and add a new drive letter
