I have 2 USB hard drives which i use for storage. I have a backup program
which automatically backs up my mp3s and digital camera pictures.
When i plug in the USB hard drives they show up as C (80Gb HD) and D (160Gb
HD) - (my main Hard Drive is 'J').
problem is that if my digital camera is plugged into my USB port before any
of the USB hard drives are plugged in, the digital camera then takes up
Drive Letter 'C'. Then if i plug my USB Hard Drives in they now become D and
E !!. See my problem ?? The backup program no longer recognises that the USB
hard drives have moved up a letter and so won't back up until i restart with
only the USB hard drives in tomake them C and D again !!
So my question is, how do i force WinXP to make sure that my 80Gb HD is the
only thing to ever be allocated 'C', and my 160Gb HD is the only thing to
ever be allocated the letter 'D' ?. i.e. I want to make WinXP automatically
recognise which HD i am plugging in and always allocate it the Drive Letter
i want ?
Kinda hard to explain in writing !
Cheers
