Re: DVD drive letters.

Now can someone help me.

I have 3 DVD drives on my PC. After a boot they occupy drive letters F:, G: and M:.

Using the disk manager from My Computer I change them to be (respectively) N:, L:, and M:.

However next time the machine is restarted, they revert back to (respectively) F:, G: and M:.

This only started happening a couple of weeks ago. Does anybody know why Windows (XP Home SP2) keeps reverting the drive letters (or by what mechanism it can)?



A couple of weeks ago? You haven't recently installed some app that requires a CD or DVD to be on a certain drive letter, have you?
I guess it could occur that changes will work ok until boot-up objects and reverts the letters.
