This is just what I needed to know. Thank you.

I found this article ages ago and it was very useful at the time but I never commented. I've searched for the page again because I had a friend with the same issue I had originally and this page easily explained how to change the drive letter with screen shots etc which is really helpful.

Originally I'd been trying to access some files on my USB memory stick and it wouldn't show up in "my computer" so I searched for why this would happen and because I already had a mapped network drive with the same letter I now know that it will only recognise one drive with that letter at a time... the page in question (no idea what page it was specifically) said change the drive letter assigned to it but didn't tell me how. This page did :o)

Your directions to change drive letters is very easy to carry out. I have a problem because my
D: drive is shown as (Z)(D) I would like to get rid of the (Z). I am not sure wether to follow what you say or wether I would have problems
I have sbsribed to your site and am waiting for the email Thanks for a very good site...Brian

Does not work in my case. I have G: drive and want to change it to D:, it does change my letter but after the boot the paths are the same linked to G so all my programs installed on G: are unaccesible.
