Hi, What you may want to do is LABLE the drive, if that is still available on NTFS systems as it was on Fat16 and Fat 32 systems. Thanks and have a Great Day! Joe Lore ====================================== I have an external FAT32 USB drive which connects to my primary Win XP Pro NTFS computer. It will also connect to two older Win 98SE FAT32 computers. To avoid drive confusion, I would like to have this USB drive appear as U: in all three computers. If I rename it U: while it is attached to my primary computer, and later attach it to another computer, will the U: designation follow it to the other computer? If not, can I designate it as U: in the other computers? Are there any problems or dangers associated with doing this?
