 2000, ME, 98 Drive Letter Assignment

The following procedure may be necessary when installing the Delkin  Reader-15 onto a
computer connected to other computers over a network server.  In some cases, the
computer may assign the Reader-15 a drive letter that has already been assigned to
another drive, such as a network drive.  This usually occurs after re-booting the com-
puter with the Reader-15 connected.  To avoid this conflict, the Reader-15 can be
assigned an available drive letter after you connect it to the computer but before re-
booting.  For more information, contact your network administrator. If your computer is
not connected to a network, and there are no drive letter conflicts, these steps will not
be necessary.
