Hmm....I have one mapped drive as z:....and I have a 5-in-1 card reader
which takes up several drive letters.
So the two opticals are D and E, then I have 4 removables (media card
reader) which takes up F, G, H, and I. Then my back up firewire HD is K, so
this guy should come in a L. The mapped drive is z. I can actually have to
it as L, too. But I can't get Explorer to see it.
Could it be possible that I have something else mapped to L and it doesn't
show up in explorer? I remember once trying to map a web drive or some crap
that some student had me fooling with. It never worked.
