-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Permanent Drive Letters

My understanding of this is that external drives, when they are turned on,
take the next available letter, so it's understandable you're having trouble
by turning them on late.  The simplest solution would be sure that they were
turned on before windows boots.  The internal drives should retain they're
letters unless you manually change them.
As an alternative, you might find this
