Can we force windows to keep drive letter ?

Hi all,

Can we force windows to keep drive letter ?

In fact, if my usb hdd boot with pc all are okay, but if I turn on the usb hdd later .. the letter isn't correct. So we can force for example the cdrom letter ?

Thanks very very much if you have a solution

right click my computer > manage > disk management > right click on usb device and select change drive letters and paths, then just set it to what drive letter you would like. This letter should remain device specific, therefore next time you use it, it should map to that same letter.

Do you mean it does that regardless of the letter you assign to it, or are you just assigning the next available one. I would be tempted to try a letter towards the end of the alphabet.
