External HD user, better get used of doing this " change Harddrive assigned letter " thing. This will happen a lot if you start your computer with without those External HD attached on boot-up. Remember the assigned drive letter for each HD.

I have found (and it works consistently) that once I have assigned a HD to an external, it remains that way as long as you turn on the computer, then plug in the HD afterwards, without plugging in any other USB stuff first.

Once in a great while I do forget and plug in another USB drive that steals the assigned letter first and I have to use that procedure to change back however.

I assigned my external HD with fixed letter and easy for me to remember. My NO. 1 HD with hoster kma files and other karaoke files was assigned Drive R and a second HD if needed for my musics and others, Drive S. So even I have six attached external drive (ex. DVD writer, flashdrive and other USB drive) it will not used or bump my karaoke drive and my music drive. Assigned a higher letter to your HD. And even I connect my karaoke drive and music drive to other my computer (back-up), I make sure it has the same drive letter.
