How can I determine the device unit letter independently?
When I connect a flash memory, it persists to use a reserved letter (G  ,not next available. The device is then not visible. |

Well, if Microsoft doesn't know... <g>
Open a Run.... box and type "compmgmt.msc" Go to Disk Adminstrator. There you can set the drive letter by right-clicking it. In most cases, a USB disk will retain the same letter when re-inserted provided it's the exact same type. Different disks will acquire different letters, though.

I don't know of a way to change that behavior.
What I do is change the reserved letter, in your case G to H or something and let the flash mem device use G "Microsoft" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... : How can I determine the device unit letter independently? : When I connect a flash memory, it persists to use a reserved letter (G ,: not next available.

My USB drive letter manager can handle this: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html Or ask Microsoft for the hotfix which addresses this issue. It's availlable since December 2007: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297694 Uwe |
