Is it ok to change the drive letter of the pool drive? If so just do it in Disc Manager?

Is there any answer to this if we migrated? i would like to change mine as well
solution:
close dashboard if open
change the drive letter in the console
open dashboard
readd all pooled folders with the new location, as if you want to add a new folder. Note: non-default shares are not listed, if the old location is missing.
for default folders like clientbackups, videos, music, etc. is a separate button, to move/recreate it. recreate it at the new location. that is working.
thats the normal procedure of the whs, if shared folder are missing in the old location.
For me this worked.
if you want to be absolutly secure, i recommend to move clientbackups to a normal disk, then unshare all folders, and then follow the guide above. then move it back to the new volume.
one note at the end, science build 5635 you can rename your Drivepool volume. i call it DrivePool ;-)
I would think the safest thing would be for DrivePool to assign the pool to the last available letter (usually Z) by default, since that rules out any possibility of the pool drive letter getting 'bumped' by the addition/removal of physical drives. Windows usually follows this behavior when you map network drives within Explorer.
That said, a wizard for changing the pool drive letter, remapping the shared folders, and syncing everything with the Dashboard would be a very nice thing to have.

Can you add an option under settings to checnge this drive letter?
I've changed the drive pool letter, and the instructions for getting everything back working can be found in the "Reinstallation of WHS 2011 Pointers". see the instructions provided by dvdluvver,Same procedure for remaping the default WHS shares and resharing the user created shares.
would be great if a) you are able to chose the drive letter when installing drivepool, or b) make a point to change the drive letter of pool before adding any shares.
