[dba-Tech] Stupid USB stick

Try this:

Select Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management

Then click on Disk Management in the left column under Storage.

Then in the right side, right click one of the drives and select 'Change
Drive Letter and Paths.'  

I think that's it!

Subject: [dba-Tech] Stupid USB stick

I have a notebook with a 250GB USB hard disk, which until this morning was
known as drive e:\. I also have a memory stick, which I decided to insert.
It bumped the big disk to drive f:\ and claimed drive e:\ for itself. This
screwed up many things. Even after removing the stick, I cannot make the big
disk reclaim its rightful place as drive e:\.

Is there a way to force a device to a specific drive letter and keep it
there? Ideally I would like the big disk to remain as drive e:\ at all times
and the memory stick to become drive f:\.

If it matters, I'm running Vista with a service pack.

Thanks,
Arthur
