Changing Shareport Drive letter
« on: December 02, 2012, 10:23:39 AM »
HI,

I have a DIR-645 and hooked up an external hard drive.  Works perfectly except I would like to change the drive letter.  It gives me drive Y and I would like to change it to X

Help anyone

Thanks

You might try to change the drive letter after it's mounted under Manage\Disk Management\Right Click on the drive and Left Click on Change Drive letter.

Not sure if setting a custom drive letter is supported. I presume that SP picks an available unused letter when it connects and creates the drive.
