USB Generic Volume designation

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I've got a 6 in 1 USB card reader. A while ago I somehow configured my
computer up to only show the Smart Media slot and name it drive D: (so I
wouldn't have to keep selcting different drives until I found the one
corresponding to the smart media slot).

Well now I have a camera which uses compact flash cards, and although the
device is working correctly every place I look in system manager, I cannot
for the life of me find out where to assign a drive letter to the compact
flash slot of the card reader.

What is the process for reassigning a drive letter to a USB generic volume?

Thanks,
Paul B

Lunchtime hit, and I spent some time and figured out how to assign or remove
drive designations as needed from the various card slots in the reader.
Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.

Sorry, I replied to a post on harddrive not appearing instead of my own
post. This is what I said:

"...
I had to be logged on as the administrator, went to Administrator
Tools>Computer Management.
Once there under Storage>Disk Management I was able to assign drive letters
to devices that were installed correctly, but didn't have logical drive
letters."

Hope that helps you,
Paul B
