    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    maybe your USB drive is trying to assign a drive letter that is already taken.

    goto

    start > control panel > administrative tools > computer manager > disk manager

    find your USB drive and assign is a drive letter

    Can't assign a letter for drive in Windows Disk Manager

    Change the letter assigned to an external disk?

    You can change that but for that you will have to format the disk so make sure to backup any data you have on that drive.

    Connect the disk to your PC and follow these instructions.

    Start Disk management by right click on windows start button or using "win+x" on keyboard and selecting "Disk Management"



    1. In disk management you will see external disk under "DISK 0" and "CD ROM" at the bottom left corner.
    2. Here, you will right click on the partition (blue line partiton)
    3. Select "Change Drive letter and paths".
    4. Select "Change"
    5. Assign any Letter from the drop down list
    6. Click ok.
    ITS DONE!!!!

    Disconnect and reconnect to check.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
