I have seen the same kind of thing with both USB thumb drives and USB connected Hard drives. You need an open drive letter between the last physical drive letter used on the machine and the next mapped drive letter or there is a problem of not finding the USB drive. Have seen this same issue on XP as well as 7. Never tried it on Vista as I used Vista very little in the migration from XP to 7.
