Re: [Simply Computers] How do you ensure a hard drive always keeps the SAME drive letter please ?

 

Have you tried changing the letter to X in Disk Management Chris? Right click on the drive and
select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths....'.

Change it to X on the laptop and it should (in theory) remain that way next time you connect the
drive, especially since these letters will never be used by any other device.
