I want to add some additional external hard drives on my home computer to use for different business records, but the three I want to add will only open up as 'I' drive - if this one is already running then I cannot add any more. Plug one into a USB port and I get the bleep acknowledging a new device is in, but it does not display a new drive ID ???

I have now realised that all three drives are now installed and called drive 'I', and I cannot re-designate new ID's which ideally should be drive 'J' and drive 'K'. Does anybody know how I can re-designate the names of these two drives ?
