| | Re: change drive letter You are correct but he said the only drives he could change, with disk management, were hard drives . In fact DVD drives or card readers all can be changed as well.

| | Re: change drive letter I should have stood by my first answer because it is correct. If you assign a letter to a USB drive, Vista will remember it for that device and use it when you plug it in again. -- Paul "B.
