OS/2 Warp and flash card - Drive letter question

We have some old pc's with Os/2 Warp installed. For some backup reasons we want to connect Flash Card reader to one of these pc's. This worked out well, but we got A drive letter problem.

The pc had already three partitions in use occupying drive letter C: D: and E:. When we installed the flash card, this got the D: letter moving the already D: and E: to E: and F:.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the drive letter of the flash card to something else, leaving the others to have what they used to have?

What you have is the issue of hardware priority.  Drive letters are assigned as follows. Primary partitions get the first drive letter assignments, then logical drives.  This may be altered in some cases in CMOS.  Also IDE devices have priority over SCSI.  USB mass storage devices fit in there somewhere depending on how they are assigned.

Version 3.0 and Later versions of OS/2 and eCS will allow you to reassign a drive letter using LVM.

USB Configuration Notebook will allow you to configure USB devices.  It is available at http://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/usb/index.html

Good luck,
