Then have a look for your drive under one of the categorys (i'm not familar with zip drives) then bring up the properties on it. Goto the settings tab, and there will be settings to reserve drive letters (just have them the same, eg E:). If you can't change it then have a look in the BIOS (usually F1 at startup). |
