ABSTRACT:
Logical drive letters are assigned to a peripheral device in a computer using stored identifying information and a corresponding preferred drive letter assignment for each peripheral device having a preferred drive letter assignment. During system initialization, identifying information--a physical device specifier or a logical volume identification--is obtained from the peripheral device. This identifying information obtained from the peripheral device is compared to similar stored identifying information. If a match is found, the peripheral is assigned the corresponding preferred drive letter, if possible.
