You got it. We have "removed " the 3.5" floppy via the Bios freeing it up.

So I can rename to "a" As I said this I have worked around & I can name The USB "a" I need to make it stick on the change of sticks .

Will try the other suggestion when back in work

Yes & no Had to go into bios to free "a" then used disk management to change it but it only holds for a single stick next time a stick goes in it "find E ,f ,g what ever & I do it over again
