Drive letters and Security (permissions)

[jo jeffries]

Does anyone know if it is possible to assign a drive letter (with
particular permissions) to a device and force windows to retain that
info even on reboot and regardless of any other changes in attached
devices?

I have a single master HDD and an USB HDD which I use as a secondary
backup device. Occasionally, I attach a second HDD to the system which
always results in a complete change of all drive letters and paths
apart from the C drive. This drives me to despair (pun intended).

How do I clobber XP over the head with some instructions about which
device should always be a particular drive letter?

Thanks,
jo

try from administrator powered ID in command prompt
devmgmt.msc
with both dev attached, assign/change drive letter for each a drive
letter

Xp will write signature to each device and tend to remember the drive letter
esp if you use high end one.


or you can mount each on different empty directory and they will stay same
with permissions kept almost without fail.
