My solution to these types of situations is a vbs script that looks for
the devices volume name, then finds the drive letter to which the

<pre wrap="">You can actually lock it down without a program. Go to Control
Panel->Administrative tools->Computer management->Storage->Disk management
(local). Right-click the drive in question and select "Change drive letter
and paths". Take it from there.
I use this procedure on several machines, then have .BAT files to backup
and restore working files.
