Guest Steve Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Using WindowsXP Pro I have an USB external harddrive. The majoroty of the times I plug it in my computer assigns it to F drive. Sometimes depending on what else is plugged in it may be assigned a different drive letter. Is there a way to ensure that it is always assigned the drive letter F irrespective of whatever other perpherials are plugged in? Can it be assigned a UNC that will always be the same? If so, how? Thanks! Steve
