Drive letters changing themselves? "Kenny" <me[ at ]privacy.net> 12.07.2007 12:06:14 Two optical drives, changed them to Y & Z and a secondary SATA drive, two partitions set as W & X OK for a long time but now the optical drives have reverted to G & H and the partitions on HDD to I & J. D, E & F used for another HDD. Why is this happening and how can I stop it happening again if I re-assign drive letters? Replies appreciated. -- Kenny Cargill

Re: Drive letters changing themselves? "Kenny" <me[ at ]privacy.net> 12.07.2007 17:43:43 Not Windows system restore but had restored a True Image backup some time ago, would that have done it? Incidentally trying to restore the same image now True Image tells me that the image file is corrupt? This relates to another post here by me regarding a failed Repair install. -- Kenny Cargill "Unknown" <unknown[ at ]unknown.kom> wrote in message news:4Zrli.227$Dx2.64[ at ]newssvr17.news.prodigy.net...

Re: Drive letters changing themselves? "Unknown" <unknown[ at ]unknown.kom> 12.07.2007 18:03:43 That is about the only thing that can make those addresses revert to the previous setting.
