Memory Keys and Network Drives

[Dave]

We have got many of our laptops with two drive partitions
and a DVD drive, so letters C, D and E are taken up.

The networks maps F and G to certain directories on the
network. This has been the case for the past year or so.

When putting memory keys into the laptops, they do not
work and get a drive letter.

When used on machines with only one drive partition,
these get the E: for their drive letter.

Is there a way for these to be forced to use other drive
letters when the network is taking drives, or do we
reconfigure the network to use other drive labels further
down the list?

Use Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) on the errant PCs and you should find the
key listed there but with no drive letter. Assign it an unused drive
letter.
