how to remove a drive letter ?

Hi,

Question: Can anybody suggest me how to remove a drive letter assigned
to a removable flash drive on Win2k/Xp ?

Known Facts: I can easily remove the drive letter assigned to a
non-removable drive using diskpart.exe (MS Resource Kit) but this
fails for a removable drive (for eg. USB drive key). Diskpart
documentation says that the tool should work for
removable/non-removable drive.

Does anybody else has the same problem ?

Choose “Uninstall” for the disk drive in the device manager.
Next time you plug in the device, a new drive letter will be assigned.
