Semi-related question: how do you do this in XP? I know I just asked one of the IT persons at work if they could do it so I could use a flash drive on my comp, and they did, but I want to do it at home too. |

OK, thanks. I'll have to look at a workaround then. |

Take away the paranthesis 
Windows NT has a mechanism that can somewhat guarentee a certain letter or mount point for a specific device, but it's buggy for whatever reason. Of course, this is unrelated to Windows 9x. |

Funny that your short answer appears to be longer than your long answer.  |

Short answer: No, since Windows 98 have a kinda clumsy way of ordering drivers (though it's possible to change it around by changing stuff in the registery, but I doubt it in the case of USB drive... and due to the brilliant way Win 9X is designed, you need to restart for even small configuration changes...)
Long answer: I suspect that Win NT (2000, XP) have a more consistent handling of portable drives than Win98. It have a computer management window where you can change around the drive letters during runtime (as long the drive in question isn't used by a program). |

Is there any way to make Windows 98SE keep specific Drive letters open for specific hardware? I have a USB Hard Drive, a Parallel iOmega ZIP100 drive, and my MP3 player in Mass Storage Controller mode. Problem is, Windows can easily switch their drive letters around. What I would *like* would be to have it keep specific drive letters reserved and unused except for those devices, say, F:\ for the USB HD, G:\ for the MP3 player, and H:\ for the iOmega. How would I go about doing that? |
