To assign a specific drive letter to your Iomega® drive, follow these steps:
- If you are in Windows®, exit to DOS.
- At the DOS prompt (C:\>) type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Locate the line that contains the GUEST.EXE statement.
- After GUEST.EXE, type a space character, then LETTER=X where X is the drive letter you want assigned to your Iomega drive.
- Hold down the Alt key and press the F key, then press the X key then the Enter key. This will save your changes and exit the DOS Editor.
Your Iomega drive will now be assigned the drive letter you selected.
A maximum of eight drive letters (A through H) are assigned by DOS without any modifications to the system files. If you have more than eight drives, or wish to assign a drive letter greater than H to any of your drives, follow these steps:
- At the DOS prompt (C:\>) type EDIT CONFIG.SYS.
- After the last line listed in the file, type a new line that reads LASTDRIVE=X where X is the last drive letter you wish to assign to any of your drives.
- Hold down the Alt key and press the F key, then press the X key then the Enter key. This will save your changes and exit the DOS Editor.
You can now assign drive letters up to the letter assigned in the LASTDRIVE=X statement.
