Cardreader changes drive letters

    I have a card reader for my camera. Sometimes the card reader shows up as drive E, and other times it shows up as drive F. When it does chance to F there is nothing listed as E. Is there a way to force it to the same drive letter all the time?

    thanks

    Goto Start --> Run and type in diskmgmt.msc and hit enter

    Right Click on the card reader drive and select Change Drive Letter and Paths

    Click Change and select a new drive letter such as R: (or anything thats free) then apply changes.

    Now every time you plug it in it should remember what letter to use.

    EDIT: sorry didn't see you there foogoo
