    Hey Guys,
    I just got the AWESOME W5 and I love it... One thing though is that Asus paritioned the 80gig drive with C and D which I hate so I installed partition magic and merged it into one big C drive again HOWEVER now the drive letters for my SD\MMC, xD-Picture Card and the MemoryStick are out of order for example:

    C: Harddisk
    D: CDROM
    F: xD Picture
    G: SD / MMC
    H: Memorystick

    (I want it to go c,d,e,f,g instead)

    Now ive gone into Disk Management to change the drive letters but it can only see the C and D Drives not the card drives.. Any ideas on how to change the drive letters in this case??? Ive tryed inserting a SD card then going into disk management again but it still cant see the drive even after rescanning the disks..

    Thanks guys!
    W5 Rocks!

    I know this works for hard drives, optical drives and network drives, probably works on card drives as well.

    Right-click "My Computer" open "Computer Management." Once the management app opens click on "Disk Management" in the left column. This will show your drives on the right. If you right-click on the drive you can choose the "Change path and letter" option.
