[SoCoSA/discuss] WinXP -- map a network drive before hardware?

[Christopher Wagner]

My apologies, I meant to be more helpful with that response.  I would
check out disk management.  (Control Panel [Classic Mode]-> Administrative
Tools -> Disk Management)  Right-click on the device in question and you
should have "Change Drive Letters and Paths."  This should work for any
removable media, to the best of my knowledge.

"G:"... or, I can use the "Add Hardware" wizard (which doubles as a
frontend into the troubleshooting wizard -- it's a generic "drives and
network adapters" tshoot, beginning with 4 radio-buttons:
