I'm using a Freecom external hardrive on my Acer laptop. I always plug my
Extrenal into a specific USB port that was assigned as drive "F".

After restarting my computer one day, the External was now assigned as
drive
"H".

All my music/media is on my external and programs like Windows Media and
iTunes can now not locate drive "F".

Please could you inform me as to manually re-assign the drive back to "F".

Thanks,

CD

In Windows (not Media Center interface).
While your external drive is plugged in.
Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management

In Computer Manager, Storage | Disk Management.

Right Click the volume that is your external drive | Change Drive letter and
path.
See the window click the Change button and make it what ever unused drive
letter you wish.
