PC won't remember drive letter
Bought some WD 2 TB drives. I connect one and it is automatically assigned G: I go into Manage Computer and change drive to Z:
I disconnect it and connect a different one and that gets assigned back to G: If I go into Manage Computer and reassign the second one to Z: then the first one goes back to being assigned back to G: It only remembers one drive is supposed to be Z: All the others go back to G: Is there any way to have everyone I plug in get a Z: assignment? Thanks |

Have you tried giving each one a different drive letter. I have several and assign each of them a seperate drive letter. Windows remembers that way. I assign 1 drive X one drive Y another drive Z. Windows can then remember which one is which.

Why don't you work with G and don't assign a specific letter. That would work (until you plug something else in which gets G - can't win. |
