Comment: Hey.... Can anyone tell me how i can allocate & change the Network Drive Letters! I have about 6 different Network Drives! The Problem is when i use Removable Storage, The Removable Storage has been allocated a Letter which clashes with another Drive and thus does not appear on My Computer! How can i change the Drive Letters? Or Allocate one for the Removable storage?

Reply: (edit)You need to know how your network drive letters are being assigned. If it is by logon script then you cannot change that so you need to make a note of the assigned drive letters then go into the local machine as administrator, ensure ALL networked drives are disconnected, (they SHOULD be!) then plug in your removable storage. Then go to Disk Manager and change the letter to one which does not clash with the network assignments. After that, evry time you plug in the removable storage it will get the letter YOU assigned to it.

Reply: (edit)Hi Cutthroat, Had this problem on a machine the other day with my USB stick.
Right click "My Computer" and select "Manage". Click "Disk Management" in the left menu. You'll be presented with the drives in your system, right click a drive icon and you should be able to select "Change Drive letter and Paths". Click "Change" and select the drive letter of your choice. Click OK, job done. Good luck :) P4 LGA775 3.0GHz
