CHANGING THE DRIVE LETTER OF THE REMOVABLE DISC

Every drive on your system reserves itself a drive letter, so it can be identified in your Windows Explorer. So does the camera
when connected to your computer. Windows will assign an unused drive letter to the camera driver.
Sometimes it may occur, that Windows assigns a drive letter to the camera, which is already used by another device.
The result is that Removable Disc does not appear in your Windows environment, but anything else seems to be installed cor-
rectly. There are no question/exclamation marks in front of the three camera drivers and no error message pops up on your
screen.
To solve the problem with a doubled assigned drive letter you have to go to the device manager and check which drive
letter is currently assigned to the camera, and whether it is already allocated by a different device or network drive.

- Connect the camera to the computer and swith the mode dial to data transfer.
Connect the camera to the computer and switch the mode dial to data mode. Activate the data mode by using down and right
keys of four way controller and enter to activate (DiMAGE 7 series only).

- Open the Administrative Tools

Click Start -> Settings -> Control

Panel -> Performance and
Maintenance

Note: When you are in Classic view

mode the Administrative Tools are
found in the first Control Panel win-
dow.

- Click on the Computer

Management icon

The computer manager will open.

- On the left side of the window select Disk
Management.

All installed drives and their currently assigned drive let-

ters will be displayed.

Look for the removable disk that matches the size of

your CompactFlash card inserted in your camera.
In the case shown here the letter G is assigned to the
camera drive and a 16 MB CF card is inserted.
(actually 15 MB are displayed in the manager)

- To change the drive letter of your removable disk

right click on the drive and select Change Drive
Letter and Path...

- Press the Change button.

- Select a new drive letter.

Windows will show a list of free drive letters, but make

sure that the new letter you choose is not used by a net-
work drive.

Press the OK button.

- Windows will ask for confirmation of the drive
letter change.

Press the OK button.

- The drive letter has now changed.

(in this case the drive letter has changed from G: to
M: )

Close the Disk Manager.

- Check your file browser for the removable disk

If still no removable disk appears the connection

problem is probably caused by your USB port.
In this case proceed to chapter 3.
