| I can't access an incomplete order(containing a few hours work of 15 wedding album pages) that was saved on my computer through a printing lab's software. I suspect that the files can't be found because the drive letter has changed. When I saved it...L was the drive assigned to my external drive and it's since been assigned N as the drive. Is there a way that I can rename the drive to L? Thanks for any help. |

| can you go to the files on "N" and double click them to open them up in the program? |

Can you even "see" the images if you search the drives with "my computer"? If you can find them on your hard drive you can move them to a new, drive-independent folder and go from there. It's hard for me to imagine online printing labs setting up downloads as a "drive" on your machine, though...

Right click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Management > Right click on appropriate drive > Change Drive Letter and Paths.
That is assuming you have Windoze, if you have Mac then I have no idea. You also have to make sure that there isn't any other drive using the letter you want. If there is, you'll have to change that one as well.

It's kind of hard for me to explain. When you're working on orders for uploads and aren't finished, their software that you download to your computer allows you to save incomplete orders. Nothing can be changed from where the files are accessed or it won't reload it...
In this case the whole drive changed because every time I add or remove readers or whatever my computer just assigns it a new drive based on what I have plugged in at the time.
The templates that I'm working on are only in their software. Not anywhere else on my computer. I can access all my files from N drive. I just don't want to have to start from scratch with the order.
So, I thought if I could trick my computer into reassigning L to the drive their program could access it again. |

It's not a Mac. Drive letters are not an issue. You could have a volume name issue, but not drive letters.
The change drive letter steps you line out only works on XP and perhaps Vista. I don't think it works that way on earlier Windows versions. I could be wrong, but I don't remember the "Manage" bit that you see in XP and Server 2003.
