Assign drive-letter to flash drive

[Bill C]

Am I in the right group to ask; How do you assign a drive-letter to a flash
drive so that xp recognizes it as that assigned drive each time you insert
it?
Thanks, Bill C

Try this:
Right click on My Computer and choose Manage
Open Storage / Disk Management
Right click on your drive and choose Change Drive Letter and Path

Click Start, Run (type) Diskmgmt.Msc [Enter]
Locate the volume identifier for the Flash drive
*Usually Volume size is the best way to locate a
Flash drive or it will be the highest numbered disk_.

Right Click over the Volume name/Letter and when the
menu appears Left Click "Change Driver Letter and paths"

Almost all recent Flash drives are USB2.0 compliant so it
won't make any difference if you plug the drive into a different
USB socket. *Unless your PC has multiple Enhanced controllers.

That worked. Thanks Rich.
