What about the A: floppy drive. I have a computer that is only for use with a particular program. It takes forever. If I could assign the USP card as the a: it would make things so much easier. Always amazed how easy it is to find info … thanks to those that devote time to helping others! I have a simular problem… except I have 3 drives in my pc. When Windows was installed it went on to the D: drive but C: is my boot drive. All the boot files are on that drive and not on the other two.
I would like to remove my C: as it is getting older and does not sound that good. There is currently nothing on either my C: except the boot files and E: drive. I have tried to copy the boot files over to E: and removed C: and swapped the cables around but it still will not boot up. I agree with Mike French. Thanks for the info! Dunno why. It irritated me to know end. I have an external drive which I back up to daily came to back up files and 2 things, the drive id has changed to F: and it states its full and do I want to format it…obviousley NO.
I thought if I renamed it to its previous drive letter in this case G:it would recognise the path and my files would be there, wrong so I have a drive that has heaps of data on it yet it shows it as full disc with no bytes and I cant read it.
I tried reassignment but only got letters to change that are after the two that are missing. I tried your method but it wont let me change to E or F as those letters seem to be missing.
