I just installed Win2K for the first time. I want my CD drive on
drive O: It keeps coming up in different places because sometimes I
have flash sticks plugged in. I went into Device Manager but I cant
find where to change this setting.

One other thing, In Device Manager there is an icon that says PCI
device that has a yellow arrow (error). I have no idea what it's for.
I deleted it but it came back. How can I find what it's supposed to
be for? I tried all the driver installs, but not knowing what it's
for, I dont know what to use. The only card plugged into a PCI slot
is a USB2 card, and I installed the driver for that. (There were 2
errors before I installed that driver).

Thanks
LM

Run diskmgmt.msc from the Start/Run box to change the drive letter.

Frequently this is a internal modem that the drivers haven't been
installed for.

Components integrated on the motherboard are often connected to the PCI
bus ands show up as PCI devices as well as cards plugged into the slots.
If you check your motherboard manual and/or take a look in the BIOS it
might suggest something.
