new HD fitted - lost USB card reader

[Dazza]

Hi,
I fitted a 2nd HD to my PC and it is now drive F which used to be the
compact flash card reader. I now am unable to see the CF reader at all. Have
I run out of drive letters? or is it something else more serious?
TIA

No, you've over mapped the CD reader.
All you need to do is re-assign a new drive letter to the
reader. Right Click My Computer, Left Click Manage.
Expand Disk Management, in the Right Pane locate your
reader Right Click over the bar (representing the space)
and choose "Change Drive Letter".
FYI: for removable media to avoid this happening
in the future assign a letter from the XZY range.
