Permanent Drive Letters for Removable Hard Drives

The thread title says it all really.

I have 2 removable hard drives, and want themto be permanently assigned a drive letter, whether they are plugged in or not.

Any ideas?

    If you are running XP right click my computer, manage.

    Disk managment - Right click the drive you want to give a letter, properties (i think)

    I did this for my xD card and called it xD card, gave it letter 'X'. Did the same with a SD card and gave it letter 'S'.

    Everytime I plug my card reader in the xD and SD cards remember there drive letter and names :)

    Worth a try.
