Re: Update Firmware, Vista changes drive letters?

Pretty simple, the Firmware is reporting the drive differently to what it
use to, just a simple change in the ID number or name and its a whole new
device to windows. Your find the same on any OS.

If its so much of an issue, complain to your drive maker.
