Drive letter assignment stuff ... Please help us understand your problem further. Check your CONFIG.SYS file for ZIP or IOMEGA stuff. Posting the contents may trigger some suggestions. You may wish to UNinstall your zip stuff and start installation over again. Another hint: Catch the screen displays as your system boots. Once you gather enough clues, you'll be in a position to solve the mystery. Cheers, PW. P.S. I believe drive letters are assigned BEFORE Windows loads.

Hi Sherry, Hopefully Mark has let you know what the problem could be and how to fix it, but I thought I'd chip in all the same. When Windows loads, depending on what type of drivers, and when they're being loaded, drive letter assignments can get a little screwed up. Easiest way to fix the problem, is to: Right-click on My Computer Select Properties You should have a window with 4 dialog box...click on Device Manager Click the + sign next to the CDROM Select the CD-ROM and click the Properties button. The middle tab should be called Settings. At the bottom is where the drive listings are contained...change the start drive letter and end drive letter to whatever you want that drive to be. Repeat the process for the Zip drive Restart your computer The drives should now be assigned per your instructions. Hope this helps, Rich
