USB flash drive letter

Post by *parsec »

Version 7.04a, WinXP. How can I change the drive letter for a flash drive plugged into the back of my computer from G to F?

Thanks Carlos. My drive menu (in TC 7.04a does not resemble yours. My drive letters are displayed horizontally, and right clicking one does not bring up a screen like yours. There must be something in the configuration that needs to be changed, or perhaps I need to upgrade to a newer version of TC. Thanks anyway, Jim.

parsec,
It is impossible to change drive letter via TC, you need to do it via your Windows configuration, like carvicer suggested:

diskmgmt.msc

Right click on de pen drive área and change letter.
So, you need to open Drive Management using Win+R (as mentioned above) or via Computer Management which is under My Computer icon's right click menu, then you need to do right click onto your flash disk. Note again, it must be done not in TC.
