Just got a new Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with a DVD-RAM drive. Originally
configured as the D: drive, I need it set to R: because of some applications
that require the D: drive to be mapped to a certain network share. (BTW,
this is using Windows XP SP2.)
I have already tried the "Computer Management" applet's Disk Management
(complete path: Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management,
Disk Management) to change the drive letter to R:, and this works *as long
as I don't reboot*. After rebooting, the DVD-RAM drive letter returns to
D:. Obviously, not a long-term solution.
On a suggestion from someone else, I removed the DVD-RAM drive from the
bootup sequence in the BIOS setup, but this did not resolve the problem.
Any assistance with this PITA would be greatly appreciated! Microsoft's,
IBM's, and Lenovo's support sites are worthless for this problem.
TIA,
Dan
