This is a guide on how to change a drive letter in Windows XP for an external device.這是一個指導，就如何改變一個盤符在windows xp中，為外部設備。 Here’s a common problem that I have seen: Plug a USB flash drive into your computer and it’s says ready to use, but for some reason nothing shows up in the list of drives.這裡常見的問題，我已經看到：堵塞一個usb閃存驅動器到你的電腦及資訊科技的說，準備使用，但由於某些原因沒有出現在名單上的驅動器。 Take it out, plug it back in and still nothing shows up!!!採取出，插頭，它早在還沒有顯示出了！ What the heck is the problem?什麼的heck就是問題所在？ Well, it could be several things, but the most common issue is that the drive letter Windows is trying to assign to your device is already taken by some other drive or maybe mapped to a network drive.說得好，可以幾件事，但最常見的問題是，該盤符窗戶正試圖轉讓給您的裝置已經採取了一些其它硬盤或者映射到網絡驅動器上。
Sadly, Windows XP does not figure this out itself (which is should) and your drive is basically lost in la-la land somewhere.可悲的是， windows xp的不圖這本身（這是應該）和你的驅動器是基本上失去了在洛杉磯香格里拉土地某處。 In order to fix it, we need to go to Computer Management and change the drive letter there manually.為了修復它，我們需要去計算機管理 ，改變盤符有手工完成。 There are two ways to get to the Computer Management dialog in Windows, one through Control Panel and the second by right-clicking My Computer and choosing Manage.有兩種方式進入計算機管理對話框窗口，其中一個是通過控制面板和第二右鍵單擊我的電腦 ，選擇管理。
Right-click My Computer 右鍵單擊我的電腦
Computer Management in Administrative Tools 計算機管理，在管理工具
Click on Disk Management under the Storage section and the right side will show you all of the current drives and partitions on your drive.點擊磁盤管理下的存儲組及右側將顯示您所有的電流驅動器和分區你的硬盤。 If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry, just find the drive you are looking for in the graphs at the bottom.如果你不知道是什麼意思，你不用擔心，只是覺得你正在尋找在圖處於低谷。 They are usually named Disk 0, Disk 1, CD-ROM, CD-ROM1, etc. If you’re looking for a USB flash drive, you’ll see the word “ Removable ” underneath Disk X.他們通常命名為磁盤0 ，磁盤1 ，唯讀光碟，光碟rom1等，如果你正在尋找一個usb閃盤使用，你就會看到這個詞" 摘 "下盤十。
As you can see from my computer, I plugged in a USB flash drive and it’s currently assigned drive letter is F. If you want to change this, right-click in the white space to the right of the drive letter and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths .正如你可以看到，從我的計算機裡，我插在usb閃存驅動器和它的目前指派盤符是樓，如果你要改變這一狀況，按右鍵，在白色的空間權的盤符，並選擇改變盤符和路徑 。
Click the Change button in the dialog box and then pick a new letter from the drop-down list. 單擊更改按鈕在對話框，然後選擇一個新的信中，從下拉列表中。 Just for your info, the Mount in the following NTFS folder option is used if you had right clicked on an external hard drive and instead of giving it a drive letter, you wanted to just have it show up as a folder on your current hard drive. 只為你的信息， 摩在以下的ntfs文件夾的選擇是使用，如果你有正確的點選一個外部硬盤，而不是使它盤符，而你想要只是它顯示了作為一個文件夾，就你目前的硬盤。 That means you could create a folder in My Documents called pictures that actually points to another hard drive instead of one where all of your My Documents are currently stored. 這意味著，你可以創建一個文件夾在我的文件所謂圖片，實際上點到另一個硬盤，而不是一個如你的所有我的文件，目前保存。
Click Ok twice and your drive should now have the new letter assigned. 連續兩次單擊和你的硬盤現在應該有新的信中指派。 Usually, if you USB stick was not showing up before, once you change the letter, it will automatically pop up and ask you what you want to do. 通常，如果你的usb棒，是不是顯示了，一旦你改變信中，它會自動彈出，並要求你什麼，你想做的事。 And that’s about it! 這就是它！ You can also use Disk Management to format disks, determine the type of File System, and see the amount of free space available. 您也可以使用磁盤管理格式化磁盤，確定採取何種文件系統，並見額免費提供空間。

Hi Shahid,喜沙希德，
It is currently not possible to have more than 26 drive letters in Windows.目前它正在就不可能有超過26徑信在窗口。 However, this does not mean you cannot have more than 26 drives attached to your computer.但是，這並不意味著你不能有超過26個硬盤附在你的電腦。 You can mount a hard drive to an empty folder on your computer using Disk Management.你可以安裝在硬盤上，以一個空文件夾，在您的計算機上使用磁盤管理。
However, if you want to connect to more than 26 network shares on a server at once, this is not possible, it must be a new and empty hard disk.但是，如果你想要連接到超過26個網絡股的一台服務器上一次，這是不可能的，它必須是一個新的和空洞的硬碟。
I will write a post on how to mount an external hard drive to an empty NTFS folder soon.我將寫一後，就如何掛載一個外部硬盤驅動器，以一個空洞的ntfs文件夾很快。
Thanks!謝謝！
Thanks for the tip.感謝頂端。
However, what do I have to do that this is not necessary each time I reconnect the drive after reboot?然而，什麼是我必須這樣做，這是沒有必要每一次我重新驅動後重啟？
REgards,問候，
