OK I think we are done. Dell respected the Y for Google Drive as set on the Lenovo. And X for the DVD as set on the Dell. Connecting the Samsung SSD with DVD still connected, I see the SSD Drives as D - K, so I go by the Volume Labels on the Dell as previously discussed. All set and Thanks...

Apologies - you were right originally. The lettering in Google Drive "General" pages is so big, larger than the window. Must see if I can reduce that without affecting the rest of my lettering elsewhere. So I am now off to see what the Samsuing drives say on the Dell. Back later.

Option to change drive letter not there. See Screenshot - that is Advanced Settings

Done with Lenopvo. The Dell Inspiron: I have a Blu-Ray player for that, taking up 2 regular USB ports. I have identified which port is the lettered port (just for curiosity) and have changed the assigned D: drive to X. Google Drive does not show up in Disk Manager, but does show up as G: in...

DVD Drive now on X. Screenshot attached. Does all that look good to you, before I go ahead with the J - Q ?

On more careful review, the comment "cannot change.." appears to be directed to laptops with built-in DVDs, not USB l plug-ins like I will have. Is that correct? Because my sister's Inspiron Win11 Pro, which I try to keep backed up, has a built-in DVD. And if correct for her laptop, what should...

I have just found discussion on the internet that Windows no longer allows one to define a specific drive letter to an optical DVD. (dated around mid 2025). Please check your source of comment that one can do it. Win11 Home.

OK Google is now Y. Thank You, Had quite a search to find the place to change it. MS OneDrive is indeed the separate folder, not appearing in File Explorer. I opened Admin folder and there it was. I have to wait for the new DVD drive to arrive b4 I can go further. And I will wait till then to...

OK, please give me instructions on setting Google to Y and MS Drive to Z. Also, when I plug in my external DVD drive, it takes D: My old one died and a new one is one the way in the mail, so I can"t test if one can change that drive letter also. I think I can handle reassigning my chosen...

Sorry - L in my FE list was an error - not thinking straight (Me). I have 8 partitions excluding Google. I originally chose J - Q to get away from a D: for my external DVD Drive, F for MS Drive and G for Google Drive. I expected (silly me) that my chosen drive letters further down the alphabet...

Your last 2 lines: Surely you can figure that out without screenshots. FE: D E F G(oogle) H I M J K L DM: D E F G H I J K

Connected to the Lenovo first thing today. All my previous Drive letter assignments that were fine last time connected have reverted aas follows: In File Explorer: Renumbered from D: with Google Drive G: added in the middle. In Disk Manager: Also starts from D: but no Google Drive G - G taken...

To ChatGPT: Connected to the Dell, Config folder one of the folders right there on opening FileHistpry folder. This from memory since Dell is not running right now. Maybe the other folder was Data. I'll check later. Connected to the Lenovo: File History/Admin name/Computer name/Configuration +...

New Question: We talked earlier about problems with the laptop not recognizing the FileHistory partition. You said to enter in the search bar: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory and delete the Configuration folder. And that got it going again. But I find, on both Lenovo and Dell...

Its running :) " ... copying files for the first time." We may be done - for now. Back later if any fuirther issues. Tx again.
