How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

Original title:

I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

PROBLEM:

If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

Question:
How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

Hope it makes sense.

Hello

There is a way to assign a static drive on an external USB drive letter, so you always get the same drive letter for the drive.

Click on the following link and follow the steps to change a drive letter.

Change, add, or remove a drive letter

I hope this helps.

    Lightroom creates a DVD that can be played on other computers.  This includes slideshows.  If you want to be able to show your DVD into a Blu - ray or standard DVD player connected to the TV, then you must use a software that will create the DVD in the proper format.  You might consider ProShow Gold, or Adobe Premiere Elements or similar programs.  According to its capabilities and your TV, you might be able to simply display a regular data DVD images.  My TV has an entry for a flash drive.  I can load the images to a flash drive and view them directly.  But if you want to show your slideshow on your TV, you need to author with appropriate software.

  • How to make a restart of disk with the files and data, that is to say, to the profession of XP

    I looked at my hard drive and have little or nothing left to free space, and I d ' attribute of * on my pc, I have removed more than half of it I do not either, but the hard drive still does not seem to move with more free space. so I was wondering if someone can tell me how to make a backup of drive for windows and programs, but not all the other files that I have on my hard drive, I would put the disc that came with the pc, but I left it out and the dog he finished, numbers and all, I can reinstall everything I need later ,,

    It is not a method of "reset" of windows, se...

    also, there are 'boot' cd that can be made, but they cannot be used to start windows.

    what they do is to start the computer with their own proprietary software, being generally utility to repair the file system.

    Subsequently, it is the hope that xp can then start by itself.

    don't know exactly what your situation is.   However, it seems that it would be a good idea to mount this hard drive as a slave / secondary drive on a working computer.   all computers can have at least 2 hard drives installed at the same time.

    in any case, if this drive can be enslaved on a working computer, you can use this computer to reconcile the master file table, i.e. to check the disk, then it - defrag since you had deleted half of the records of the file system.

    by the way, if your pc is not stable, how would you be able to make a bootable cd?

I want to continue to use my Windows 7 license on the new system, but some of the forum posts I've seen suggests that I would need to remove Windows 7 from my current set in place before reinstalling so as not to invalidate the license agreement.

    My question is that Windows 7 has been a new installation on my current PC, there is no previous operating system to come back. How can I do to remove or disable at least Windows 7 so that I can use it on my new build?

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  • How to make a label (javafx) to display the current time dynamically?

    Hi all

    How to make a label (javafx) to display the current time dynamically?

    I have not found a Type of event related to the time in javafx API.

    Please give me some suggestions. Thank you!

    Sage

    There are lots of examples of JavaFX clocks available, for example https://gist.github.com/jewelsea/3388637 or http://blog.crisp.se/2012/08/09/perlundholm/an-analog-clock-in-javafx

    For a simple label displaying the time, the simplest thing is to create a Timeline with duration 1 second and the number of indefinite cycle, which triggers an event handler that updates the label:

    final Label clock = new Label();
    final DateFormat format = DateFormat.getInstance();
    final Timeline timeline = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(1), new EventHandler() {
         @Override
         public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
              final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
              clock.setText(format.format(cal.getTime());
         }
    });
    timeline.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);
    timeline.play();
    

    (If you use Java 8, use the new time API, which is much more pleasant than calendar.)
