There needs to be an additional step in those directions that isn't
obvious to someone who isn't looking for it. Between steps 3 and 4, you
need to press F6 to get to the list view on the right.

I tried following those instructions and my control panel isn't laid out
the
same way. There's no check box to change the drive letter. A friend
told
me the documentation seems to have been written with Windows XP Pro in
mind
rather than Windows XP Home, but since I've never seen Windows XP Pro, I
can
only shrug. I just know the instructions don't fit what I see on my
screen.
In fact, I've looked through properties and tried all kinds of things,
but I
can't seem to find a method of changing the drive letter.
