USB drive uses new drive letter and does not release old
I have a usb key which I use temporarily a few times a week. I assign
it a drive letter above my existing drives to avoid any conflicts (T. The problem I have been having lately, is when I eject the drive, even though windows does not report it in use anymore, when I plug it back in, it gets a new drive letter (U, and the old drive letter re-appears (T. If I try and open T: it says: "T:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be a hard drive on this computer, or on a network....." When I eject the drive again, and re-insert it, now T: and U: report in use and it assigns a letter V: If I reboot all is good and I start over again. Something is not being cleared out in the registry... any ideas? |
