If you only want to remove your second hard drive and put it on another computer, there’s no need to change the drive letter or delete the drive letter of the second hard drive. When you connect it to the other computer, it will automatically be assigned to the drive letter C. But the other computer should not have a hard drive currently installed.

If the other computer is already installed with a hard drive, your second hard drive will be assigned to the drive letter D or E depending on the existing letters used. In case the other computer doesn’t have a hard drive, when you install it with your second hard drive the system should automatically assign the drive letter C.

What you are saying is not possible. It is not possible for the other computer to not see the hard drive if it is the only hard drive installed on the computer. The thing you did on your original computer where you deleted its drive letter is not applied or doesn’t affect when it is connected to a different computer.

If the computer can’t see the hard drive, maybe your BIOS can’t detect the drive. Just check the cable connections inside your CPU and you should be able to access it.
