my 3G modem has a microSD slot that is useless to me, if i plug it in before my USB external HDD it just takes the first available letter (G) which is normally the letter for the external drive which itunes uses so needs to keep it's G: path
is there a way of assigning a different letter permanently to the modem card slot? Disk management is a pain in the ass every time as is having to remember to eject the reader as a device before plugging in the HDD
or is there a way of blocking the card reader part of the modem which identifies itself as Globetrotter GI4xx - mass storage

Plug the USB stick in.
Right click My Computer, go to Manage
Select Storage, Drive Management.
Right click the appropriate drive.
Change drive letter and path to what you want
Does that work for you?
yes, but i have to do it every time, which as i said is a pain in the arse.
Get a USB hub and dont unplug them?
How about a BAT file containing those commands that execs as part of your startup?

soma - laptop so not possible
darc - i'd imagine that would need the device to be plugged in permanently

eh? sorry bout that.
is it possible to tell itunes that the library has moved without completely reinstating the library?
didn't think it was as simple as changing the library folder location in itunes settings as this just dictates where it puts new files
that'd be the ideal solution if possible but i don't want to have to completely reinstate the library as its 100Gb+ of tracks and would take ages and being itunes no doubt lose half of them
only the once though please I'm not deaf you know 🙂
it should nt be a problem, I can't remember exactly where you change it -think it's in prefernces or something, i moved my father in laws a few times. in his case I copied off the c drive as it was full and moved it to an external drive and just changed the path letter in itunes to reflect that. it all opened fine.
that mat well work uplink, i'll have a coffee before i get my head round it though, things that have command lines give me the fear
thanks
uplink is today's winner
