USB Drive Letter Problem

When inserting your USB storage device into a Windows machine, you may find that it doesn't get a drive letter mapping because the logical drive letter it should get is used up by e.g. a network drive mapping. This can be common at work where most of the available drive letters are taken up by permanently mapped network drives.

There is no real solution to this problem, but work-arounds for it are in the MyMediaGear.com FAQ in answer to the question: "I’m on a network that automatically maps my drive letters, but the Flash Media Reader/Writer is occupying those drive letters." [not really a question, but close enough since it invoked the right answer]

Here is a part of the work-around for Windows XP:

  1. Open the following : Control Panel/ Administrative Tools/ Computer management

  2. Select Disk management by clicking on it.

  3. Right click on the disk you wish to change the drive letter.

  4. Choose “Change Drive letter and Paths”

  5. Click on Change

  6. ... [if you need the rest of the instructions go to the link above]


Here for Win2k:

1. Control Panel/Administrative Tools/ Computer Management

2. Select Disk Management

3. Right click on the disk you wish to change the drive letter.

4. Choose “ Change Drive Letter and Paths”

5. Click on Change
