I had to replace my burnt out PSU with a JEANTECH low noise 120mm fan power
supply, on my P4 processor 550 with HT Technology.

I am sure I have connected everything correctly however I now have a drive
letter association problem.

MY DVDRW which should be letter F:, is actually coming up as compact flash
when I look in windows explorer. All other subsequent removable drive (SD,
Memory stick etc) all seem to have moved up one letter, and the final
removable disk on letter J: is showing a Removable Disk when in fact it
should be named.

Is there any way I can get my DVDRW to show up correctly (under properties
it does show as CD drive)

Is there an easy way for me to get all drives to show up correctly?

Thanks

Ok, goto Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management
then Storage , Disk Managment now you can change the letter of your Drives.

Just left click the drive then right click it.

Try giving the flash drive a unique name and wherever possible, always
insert it into the same USB port on the same machine.
