How to assign Canon Camera a Drive Letter

Hi.  I need to assign my Canon PowerShot A40 a drive letter in order to undelete a picture that I just deleted off the camera by accident.  I have not taken any pictures since making the mistake, and I have a full copy of "Recover My Photos" to use, but the program requires me to assign the A40 a drive letter and I do not know how to do it.

I would greatly appreciate getting an answer to this problem.  Thanks!

Depending on the driver, some cameras appear as standard removable drive and some don't.

For recovery work, I allways use a card reader. That way you are guaranteed to get access to the card as removable storage drive  (that is, it will show up as a drive in My Computer).

Card readers are dirt-cheap these days and as an added bonus they often download your photos faster than the camera.

Thanks!  But is there any way to assign a drive letter to the camera?  One is not given by default,  It just says Canon Camera under My Computer.
