[bookport] Re: Book Port drive letter

NOrmally you should not need to reassign the drive letter unless it
conflicts with another drive, such as a network drive. If a drive shows up
in your my computer when you connect the book port, then it is recognized,
at least by the computer. If that's the case, changing the drive letter
won't help you with the problem in question.

> Hello.
> In an effort to get this thing recognized, I will again attempt to
reassign the drive letter. I already know how to reassign them, and thought
I could change one of the drives I already have to another letter, and then
maybe the Book Port would work on the previously occupied letter. Problem
is, I didn't quite understand what was said about picking the particular
letter for each device. I believe it was Walt Smith, and he said Windows
won't allow temporary (removable) drives to be accessed at letters higher
than mapped network drives. Can you explain further please? Besides my
normal hard drive which is partitioned to C and D, I have a second internal
hard drive which is L, and the C drive on the server computer downstairs I
have mapped to my computer as letter P, then let me see, I have my various
drives like 3.5 floppy, CD drive and CDRW/DVD as A E and F respectively. I
also have four other slot things, one which I know fits the flash card from
the Book Port (H), one which
>  is the same length but thinner, and two more which look simular to the
slot of the flash card, but they're shorter. I don't honestly use them, so
am not sure of which letter is which, but in my computer I se G H I and J
all listed as removeable drives, so in some order those are what they are.
As far as USB devices, my external hard drive is K, and I don't think
anything else has a letter. I may be wrong about my cellphone, since I do
technically transfer information to and from it, but I don't believe it has
a letter.
> Now, I don't know what letter it's trying to give my Book Port, but I know
it's F on my other computer, and I've already changed my burner from F to
another letter and the Book Port still wasn't recognized. So not to confuse
myself I did eventually change it back to F. As of now, all my drives are
working well, but to restate Walt's quote, Windows won't allow temporary
(removable) drives to be accessed at letters higher than mapped network
drives, should I reassign any of these? More specificly, which ones, and to
what?
