If you have XP, the drive letter change is somewhat complicated.
Go to your desktop and highlight My Computer.
Press the Apps key ( brings up the context menu)
select Manage
You are now in the Computer Management dialog
Press the letter "D" until you hear Disk Management
Wait for a few seconds. A list will automatically come up with the hardware
drives and their assigned letters.
Scroll down to the one you want to change
*NOTE* if you are changing a drive with removable media, you will need to have
media in that drive before doing any of this stuff.
Route JAWS to PC
Insert-Keypad Right arrow to hear the drive letter.
Right click using the keypad
Now use the standard up/down arrow to move through the context menu and find
"Change drive letter and paths..."
In this dialog go back to the PC cursor and Tab until you hear "Change...
button"
Then tab to the combo box and select the letter you want.
Press Enter and climb back out.
As long as you always mount this same hardware drive to the same USB, it
should stay with that letter.
Good luck.
Dave

Hey GuysZ:
Firstly, does anyone know of a jaws compatible way to change the letter of a
drive. I am trying to rename my second hard drive drive E and the computer
seems to want to call it G for some reason. Also have any of you ever used the
programe safe xp and if so is it jaws compatible. According to what I read on
the net, it is supposed to resolve windows update issues as my windows updating
is not working. Thanks.
Liz
