Flash drive letter assignment

[jeffsr40]

This may be a simple question from a simple mind, it has me stumped and I don't know why.
I have 2 flash drives to backup files, one gets assigned as E: drive, the other gets assigned as F: drive. What gives?
This is a problem because of scheduling the backup.

So what's the problem?

Basic Drive Assignments:
A, B floppies
C primary boot drive
D second hard drive or CD/DVD R/W drive
E thru Z other devices. Virtual drives, USB drives and devices

I need to enter a path when scheduling the automatic backup

So you can't schedule backups on the E or F flash drives. Will scheduling on a internal hard drive work?

Go to Disk Management and change the drive letter.

Maybe you have had the two drives plugged in simultaneously at some point? Windows remembers the letter it has assigned to a flash drive and tries to reuse it.
