re: 'Designate Your Own Drive Letters' Sunday, March 9, 2003 at 12:19 pm Posted by Julie (5 messages posted) We agree - have spent all day struggling after installing a second hard drive. All the letters shifted along one, and we couldn't use any software requiring a CD (big headache on a Sunday - most of the four boys' games!) Tried registry change but it just changed back on restarting (we're using Windows ME on a Dell Dimension). Downloaded Letter Assigner on JohnK's advice and it solved the problem in 5 mins. Like John, we suggest that Annoyances should test their solution. Thanks, John!

We wanted the small disk to have the last letter of the hard drives, and my current drive designations are C, D, and E on the 30, and F on the 4gb drive, with G for CD Burner, H for CD (yes, I like having both) and I for the camera memory card reader. My bios think I have only three hard drives (C, D and E) and the secondary slave is set to "none". Drives G, H and I have their letters set manually in Windows (ME), using "reserve drive letters". When Windows starts, it finds another drive - 4gb - and gives it the missing number. So, my 4gb drive is right where I want it to be, at "F". My DOS database programme, running under windows, also finds my "F" drive without problems. This also worked with Windows 98 and Windors 98SE - haven't tried it with XP.

I have Windows ME, had 1 drive partition C,D bought a second drive, partition that and they came out as C,E and D,F for the new one. Tried everyting and nothing worked until that program. BRILIANT!!!! I guess Microsoft don't really want us to have control of our computer.
