Hi there-.... got a strange problem..
I have much of my collection on various 2TB drives. I do not always have them plugged in. What I do I scan them into the library, then I can switch them on or off as I wish. (I uses a prefex in the naming system to group them so I know watch one to turn on)
Anyway, that was the plan.
The problem is that when I reboot the computer sometimes when the drive initializes it uses a different drive letter. So all the library data can not find it. So I though.. no problem. I'll connect to them though the netwrok share that is constant.. but again.. no dice... as each time I scan the library it rescans everything and I end up with 2 copies in the library for each film.
So is there a way to force windows7 to assign the same drive letters to specific usb external drives?
