I have a card reader/writer that shows up as 5 drives.I hate that; I really, really hate that.I would like it to show up as drive only when it has a card to read in it.You know like when you shove a USB memory stick into your PC's USB port, it only shows up as a drive when you plug it in.Or is there a way to permanently rename the 5 drives so that when I plug a card in the reader I know which one it is.I can change it, but it seems to rename its self back to Removable Disk (E:), (F:), (G:), (H:) and (I:) when I shut down or restart the computer.
Is it a multiple card reader? Like a 5 in one or a 7 in one card reader. If so the different slots you insert the cards to are actually identified as different drives or I/O devices. This is how your Operating System recognizes them. You can rename them, But you can't get it to be recognized as one drive or I/O device. How are you trying to rename them ? You should be able to open My Computer then right click on the device and click on properties. Rename it and click on apply. As long as you do not unplug the card reader from the computer it should retain the name for the device.
