    Change drive letters assigned


    Haven't done this in a while. Never in W-10
    Want to move and reassign:
    On Disk 0 (F) becomes (D) 15 MB assigned by OS
    On Disk 1 (H) becomes (E) Second SSD drive
    On Disk 2 (D) becomes (F) First HDD used for storage
    On Disk 3 (E) becomes (G) External 1 GB for File History, stays plugged in
    CD-ROM 0 becomes (H)

    I get confused on like changing (F) to (D) What happens to data. Or when (H) becomes (E)

    :)

    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.

    Change drive letters assigned

    Assign drive letter to WM phone

    Hey all.

    So I've got an HTC Touch Dual. It's a pretty good phone, running WM 6, and I've bouch a 4GB microSD card. When I connect the phone to the computer the WM Device Center pops up.

    Now what I need to do is basicly assign the phone a drive letter. Some PDA programs I want to install (from a CD) need that, and in WinXP it had a drive letter, but in Win7 the phone just shows as a "HTC Touch Dual". Wich means I cannot install that program to it, because I need a drive letter.

    Any suggestions, anyone?

    Thanks for looking! *Smile Change drive letters assigned :)

    EDIT: Oh, and copy the files directly to the phone doesnt work, there are no install files for the PDA itself.
