How can I change EMPTY removable disk letters?
I've changed external USB hard drives and Windows 7 has reshuffled the drive letters. The old external hard drive was G: and the multi-slot card reader was H: I: J: K: L:
I also installed a second DVD burner, which went into F:, which wasn't being used at all before.
Now Windows has changed the card reader to G: through K: and stuck the hard drive onto L:
I unplugged the card reader from the motherboard, then assigned G: to the external hard drive. Then I went to Regedit and in HKLM/System/MountedDevices deleted all DosDevices higher than G:
Then I shut down, reconnected the card reader, booted up and Windows put all the letters right back to the wrong places.
Even if I plug memory cards into the card reader those drive letters don't show in Disk Management. I only have SD cards so even if they did show I could only change H:
