Computer changes drive letters

[pickel]

Except for "A" and "C", everytime I start my computer the Zip drive and CD icons are always swapped around!!?? It doesn't really bother me, just have to figure what's where, when looking for something. Believe this started when I installed CR-RW. But all else seems to work ok. Just curious ???????

Just go to each drive's property sheet in device manager & set it. Set both start & end drive letters the same. That'll stabilize it!

Set the CD high enough that future changes won't effect it, I usually start the CD's with "M", and I always set the zip to "Z"
The unused letters won't matter.

Pickel, my drives keep resetting themselves to F and U. Is my computer trying to tell me something?

Couldn't NT's Disk Admin fix that? (as long as you're in NT). Why in the world can't format.com quick format a new partition like NT can??? MAN I hate waiting for these big âss drives to count to 100%. Especially SCSI drives; for some reason they take reeeeeally long.

Hey Grandslammer: If I was your computer ,I'd give you a permanent Blue Screen with "Surfing Whale " animated, of course http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
