This is driving me crazy...

I dual boot between XP & Vista.

XP on C Drive and Vista on separate F Drive.

I also have a DVD-ROM (E) and a DVD Writer (D) & Floppy Disk.

When booted into XP the floppy disk shows as drive letter A, but in Vista it
shows as drive letter B ?????

How can I change the drive letter so floppy shows as A in Vista?

I've looked in "Disk management" in both XP and Vista. In XP the floppy
drive is listed under removable storage section but in Vista it isn't. In
fact in Vista there isn't even a removable storage section to look under? So
I can't change it there. Any Ideas?

Cheers

Rob

Panic over... did a bit of research on Google. Re-installed drive and
controller and now it's back to A:

You can protect your Vista recovery files from XP's volsnap.sys (it destroys
your recovery files every time you boot XP otherwise) by making a registry
change in XP. If you have not done this, see:
