hello, is there a way to assign the same drive letter to a usb drive?
Sometime my drive shows as the F: drive and sometimes as the G:. May
be there is a script or some kind of .reg file that I can export and
re import at boot to fix this. Thanks.
You can change the drive letter assignments in the Windows
Disk Management (Start -> Run -> diskmgmt.msc).
Right-click on the drive, 'Change Drive Letter and Paths...'.
Windows saves letter assignments, but exactely one assigment
per letter only.
Sample: Drive1 is connected and you assign letter X. Then you
disconnect it. When you attach it again it gets letter X again
because Windows saved this assignment. Disconnect it again,
attach Drive2 and assign letter X, detach it and attach
Drive1 again. Drive1 get the the first free local letter now
beause the previous assingment has been superseded by Drive2.
Therefore there is always a rivalry for the first availlable
local letter.
The best solution is to assign one 'high' letter per USB drive,
far away from the first availlable one and away from network
drives too.
By means of my USB drive letter manager you get many options
to define drive letters for USB drives.
