USB mass storage device drive allocation-laptop

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



In a previous USB storage device drive allocation discussion, the
following pathway was given as the solution:

'My Computer, Manage, Disk Management - assign a drive letter'.

On my laptop, in Windows XP SP2, I cannot find this pathway. I open up
disk Management/portable devices and my portable storage shows as
'unallocated'. I have checked under every menu heading, RH mouse,
properties, etc, but cannot find a path to 'assign a drive letter'. Can
anyone enlighten me please?
