Use identical drive letters on both computers to link them together.
Use identical drive letters on both computers to link them together.
The external drive is only for video and photo tasks, and each time you transfer it between your desktop and laptop it resets its letters. I need to re-link all the media to my software. Can I permanently assign a drive letter to this external drive?
You can modify the drive letter in the Windows Disk Management tool, and after reassigning it to a specific letter on your laptop, it should no longer change frequently.
It could affect compatibility depending on the differences between the versions.
It doesn't matter. The disk management tool appears the same on both my device and my parent's Windows 7 machine.
Changing it to the desired letter on the laptop should resolve the issue, since the device is continuously altering it...
