usb harddrive drive letter assignment doesn't retain

Hi,

I have a pool of usb hard drives that are used for backup. I also have a backup script that will copy files to these drives in a daily basis.

It appears that I can't assign a specific drive letter for these drives permanently. I tried manually changing the drive letter (the one that I used before) for all of them, but when they are reconnected, it will use d: again, but not the one that I specified.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Thanks
.
