[Micronet] is there a way to change a assigned drive letter

[Lucy Greco]

Hello:
 I am fighting with a new device  I need to install and I think part of the
problem is the installer has a specific drive letter it is looking for. It's
complicated but the installer wants to put a file on one of the two flash
disks the device is creating. However I think the installer is looking for
drive g and no mater witch of my systems I plug it in to the device shows up
as f and e or f and h never g. anyone out there know if I can reassign a
drive letter once the drive is connected thanks Lucy

Hi Lucy,

This TechNet article might help you:

You can change the drive letter both in a GUI or via command line. Both methods are documented in the article.

Depending on the OS and exact requirements, the subst command may do it.
I have used it to convince an application to install when the boot drive
was not C:.

Subst runs differently in elevated an non-elevated privilege mode in
Windows 7, but for an install that should not be an issue providing the
result points to the right place.

Subst does not change the drive letter, just creates a virtual drive, or
alias for an existing one. You do have to be careful about potentially
destructive commands, of course.
