Mount USB drives to folders
gHacks just shared a really good tip on his site on mounting USB drives to folders, instead of assigning drive letters to them. This is great if you have a double or triple boot setup, since you are likely to have at least 4-5 partitions, all with separate drive letters.

Martin suggests creating a folder named USB for instance and then mounting all drives there. This also helps get rid of some confusion and navigation issues, since USB drives will now be more a part of your file system than before.

To read exactly how to do this, take a look at the original article on mounting USB drives to folders, I don’t want to take any of the limelight here.

    After assigning usb drive to a folder the drive still has a “letter” assigned to it. Not sure how to remove the sub drive from My Computer or remove the letter designation. Having both a drive letter and folder locations seems redundant Can this be done?
    Thanks

    Hi kgr!

    I’m no specialist in this matter since I don’t actually use it myself, try asking Martin though, I’m sure he’ll come up with a solution :)
