Right-click on the partition (inside Disk Management). Select Change drive letters and paths. Make whatever changes you want.

On the following image, the same partition gets displayed twice but with difference drive letters:

One simple cause of this is the subst command.

subst
will tell you whether this is the case and
subst g: /d
will get rid of the extra mapping if it is.
subst g: d:\
will re-create it.

  • Hi, I think you overlooked. If you checked the drives labelled 'Storage' They both have the same storage space and label. I tried renaming one and the other gets renamed as well when I refresh. Mar 9, 2014 at 11:13
  • Thank you for pointing out what you were actually talking about. Forget this, then.

I had this problem on my Windows 7 system. Explorer showed drive (partition) C: with both "C:" and "T:" drive letters. Change name, name changed on both, etc. I tried every suggestion I could find on the web. Even searched the registry for "T:" but found nothing.

Then, the other day, I was copying TV shows from my Freeview box's external USB drive with the "Ext2fsd" program to my Windows system:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/

While looking around the menus I saw that it had the ability to remove drive letters. I highlighted the "T:" letter and deleted it. Voila! No more "ghost" drive letter in Explorer.
