A script to force a USB device to a drive letter stuarth <Stuartmh[ at ]googlemail.com> 5/2/2007 8:24:09 AM Is there a script for forcing a removable storage device like a USB drive to always be a particular drive letter when a user plugs it into a Server? I find that in Windows 2003 standard R2 if I plug in one of 5 usb drives I have then at some point the server will assign the drive with a different drive letter! Which isn't so good for designing backup scripts! I've looked at 'diskpart' but it appears to be work from a script.
