Iomega Zip Drives are becoming more popular as a storage alternative for files. However, when a Zip Drive is added to a Windows 95 computer system, it often changes the drive letter of the CD ROM. If your Zip drive has a Floppy disk icon in 'My Computer', then try these steps to switch the drive letters between the Zip Drive and CD-ROM drive.
- Open Device Manager and double click on the Disk Drives line.
- Highlight the Iomega Zip Drive line and click on Properties.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- In the Reserved Drive Letters section, there is a Start Drive Letter and an End Drive Letter setting. Enter the desired drive letter for the Zip Drive in both the Start and End boxes. Be sure to use the same drive letter for both the Start and End sections.
- Click on OK. Double click on the CD-ROM line.
- Highlight your CD-ROM drive line and click on Properties.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- In the Reserved Drive Letters section, there is a Start Drive Letter and an End Drive Letter setting. Enter the desired drive letter for the CD-ROM in both the Start and End boxes. Be sure to use the same drive letter for both the Start and End sections.
- Click on Ok, Click on OK to close Device Manager
- Shutdown and Restart your computer.
This should change the Zip and CD-ROM drive letters.
