How to assign a 'fixed drive letter' to removeable storage?

Hi,

I would like to use a USB 2.0 removable storage flash drive to backup to, however:

1. How to make sure that every time that flash drive is inserted into the computer it takes the same drive letter e.g. E:\

I need this so that the backup software can always locate its storage location.

I am using Windows Vista but it would be helpful to know how to do it with XO too.

Thanks in advance :DStart Free Trial
