How to reserve Drive Letter to USB drive

Question

I have few USB portable drives which I keep on changing. Is there a way to reserve a perticular letter to each drive?

When you plug in the USB drive, you need to access "Computer Management". On Win XP its in Start / Administrative Tools / Computer Management, if you don't have it, follow a tutorial on this.

Now once you're there nav to Storage / Disk Management. From there find the USB drive you want to re-assign, and right click it and choose "Change drive letter and paths".

When you give a USB device a new letter your system will actually re-assign it that same letter when you plug it in the next time.
