I thought the patch had already been created last year. What's the
problem with the one that was created already from the msdn reference?
Are you trying to reinvent the wheel here Gary? It's done already.

Is there any
confusion with drive letters when the thing is turned on/off-- does
D:\ change to E:\ for instance?

I'm thinking strange things could happen to drive letters doing as you
do, by the rules of...

Order in Which MS-DOS and Windows Assign Drive Letters

When the USB drive is off, as it normally is, I have my normal two
internal
hard drives (each having 2 partitions) show up as C:, D:, and E:, F:.

When the USB external HD is turned ON, I get an additional G: and H:.,
(just
as expected). So the internal IDE drives get enumerated first,
followed
by the ATAPI interface one (my USB one), which I believe is standard
procedure.

Incidentally, I've previously made my CD/DVD combo drive to be configured
as
K:, and my ZIP drive as Z:, to avoid some of the confusion with changing
drive letters that would otherwise occur.
