Multiple USB drives sharing a drive letter in server 2008
Hi Everyone.
I am running server 2008 R2 and i have a share set up to point to a drive which docks into its proprietary holder. using diskmgmt.msc i am able to assign H: to each disk as i insert it, but it does not remember the previous disks. It overwrites the driveID in LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\MOUNTE DDEVICES
NOW, before you tell me "Its not possible etc...." i HAVE had this working before. and i can CURRENTLY, get all 4 drives, to share G:, but when i change the binary in \MOUNTEDDEVICES\ and swap G: with H:, it STILL keeps assigning a new drive letter.
To Summarize (keep in mind only 1 disk will ever be inserted at any time)
i CAN get all 4 disks, to share the G: assignment
i CANNOT get all 4 disks to share the H: assignment
Before you tell me to just accept G: and re-share it as my share, i want to crack this and know why i cant do it with H:
Thanks
