I found the "problem"
The register assigns a letter based on the hard drive "serial number". Thus I can only have ONE HD labeled as W. The other need a different letter.
If you DIDN'T manually assign a drive letter you would not have to worry about it.
Done correctly, Windows will automatically assign the first available drive letter to the external drive when it is plugged in.
So If you have two partitions on your internal drive and a CD/DVD drive internally Windows would automatically set C:\ as the boot drive, second partition would be D:\, CD/DVD would be E:\..
That would mean each time you plug in any external HD (one at a time) it would automatically be assigned F:\..
This IS the way you should have set things up to keep it simple..
I don't understand why folks tend to complicate such a simple idea..
