Hi Ron,
Below you said "Remember also that the drive letter of an external drive can
vary depending on the order in which external drives are added."
That is true. But there is an easy way to reassign/force drive letters to any
valid letter D: through Z: that you want.
You may have to be logged in as Administrator to do this, but I am not sure.
Open "Control Panel"
Next open "Administrative Tools"
Next open Computer Management"
Next open Disk Management"
In the top or lower part of the window, select and RIGHT click on the drive you
want to reassign.
Then select :Change Drive Letters and Paths..."
A small window will open, click the "Change..." button
Another small window will open and there you can select a new drive
letter.
If an unwanted HDD is already assigned the letter you desire, you will need to
reassign it to something else FIRST then go back to the drive you want to
reassign.
