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.
