Hi.

In windows 7, the devices and drives are listed last. But, in windows 8.1, it is first in the list. Can anyone help me to make the drives and devices to the last of the list?

Take a look:

Thanks.

Hello Brink!

Thanks for the quick reply.

I know that, but while sorting, DVD Drives comes last, but, the C drive moves from the first list!

Is it possible to retail C drive in first and DVD drive in last?

Thanks

From your screen shot, change the drive letter of your DVD from D to anything after G (H,I, J, K ......) then sort by name & ascending

NOTE: Sort by name means: sorted by drive letter.

Thanks for the tip. I have changed all the drive letters, except C. Now the drives are, C,D,E,F and the DVD Drive letter is G :)

Actually you should have changed it with an available drive letter such as W, Y, Z so if you happen to connect an external USB device, Windows will assign the next drive to be H then your DVD won't be on the bottom of the list.
