Removable drive USB/Firewire mount to same place


Recommended Posts

Have googled etc, I cannot find directions or am even sure if it is possible to have a removable drive like a USB HD or Firewire drive always mount to the same drive letter in WindowXP. This is easy to do in Linux, I can control the mount, but in Windos how can I tell it that this drive sould be mounted to this letter. My ADS External Drive should always be F: and my HD always h: etc... It seems that in XP the next drive letter is always used, if I turn the devices on in a specif order then I get the right letter to the right drive, but if one drive is attached to another computer etc, then they dont end up on the right letter.

thanks

I use USB thumbdrives and firewire hard drives and once I set a drive letter via Disk Management everytime I plug them into that machine the mount as the letter I assigned to it. That is unless there is another drive already using that letter then it defaults back to the next available letter.

This is machine specific though and has to be done on every machine you plug the drive into.
