[bookport] Re: Book Port drive letter

well there's no problem with any of the current drives being recognized, but
nothing I do will help the BP be recognized in addition. It was suggested
that I change it's letter but since it's not recognized it's not listed, and
thus I cannot figure how to change it's letter.
