Choosing drive letters

Guest

Is there a way to choose which devices get which drive letters? My Smartmedia
cardreader was unplugged when I installed a new external hard drive for
backup, and the new HD took the G:/ which I am used to having as the
cardreader drive. How can I make the card reader G:/ and the new ext hard
drive I:/ (I already have another external hard drive H:/ for all my
personal data).

Right click on My Computer, select Manage, then under the Storage option
select Disk Management.

Now in the right hand pane right click on the Drive or partition that you
want to
and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Then click the Change button and pick a letter from the pull down list.

Janetb,

Although the Right-click MY COMPUTER | MANAGE | DISK MANAGEMENT will work for
now, XP has a bug with this. What I used to do is fix a letter like Z, which
won't be used usually...
