when I plug in a usb or esata drive the little icon pops up and tells me the drive is installed the disk drive is visible in device manager

however it is not seen on my computer until I go right click on my computer then select disk management then assign the drive a drive letter.

is there a setting that I can make the system automaticlly give new drives a letter?
