Help w/USB flash drives!!!

[Rellik]

We run NetWare servers all over the country and none of them have an F drive for the exact same reasons you explained in this thread. Our first network drive letter is H. That leaves letters ABCDEFG for local drives.

Edit your login script...

My school also maps the user folder (the first Network drive) to the H: drive, the best reason being is that H: is short for Home drive, which is pretty logical.

I know this teacher who has the following drives, all using a letter:

• Main Boot HD
• 50x CD Drive
• CDRW
• Removable HD
• Zip 100
• and a Compact Flash reader on the HP Printer

I did have to do some re-mapping, but W2K was a bit better at mapping drives then when he had W98 installed.

I am most happy that we have an open area to discuss things, but you people are nuts! ;-)

It's too bad that the Novell Client doesn't talk to the Microsoft OS and tell it "Dude - I'm using drive X: - don't hand it out, K?"

The old clients used to do this, but now with XP, it doesn't happen.

We do have a solution, albeit not the best IMHO.

Thanks everyone,
