Guest mike0898 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Hi, This should be easy, but I can't find the solution in help, on this site. I'm trying assign a drive letter for a portable memory stick. When I plug the stick into my home computer, it does this automatically. At work, almost all of drives are already mapped, so it seems like I will need to this manually. How do I do that? I know the machine recoginzes my memory stick, I just can seem to access it. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated by this not-so-expert user!
Guest N1K Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 RE: Map drive for USB memory stick Ok, when you plugged in your memory stick, it probably assigned a letter which was already used by your mapped network drivers. Here's the solution: Right click at My Computer and click manage. In the left pane select disk management, wait couple of seconds while the service starts. Found your removable disk and right click on it. Select change drive letter and paths and choose the letter which isn't already used on your PC.
