Make two different flash drives use same letter?

Hi all,

Am at work and they use two different flash drives to backup the data before leaving for the end of the day. The problem is, the program they use will only backup to H:

While this isn't a problem with just one flash drive, the two seperate backup people have a different flash drive each and when one sets theirs to H in disk management, the other one then needs to do the same afterwards. This process needs repeating each time the other user backs up the files.

Is there any way around this at all please?

Thanks muchly!

Mike

Do they put the flash drive into there own PC's or into the server?

The flash drives are both connected to one computer (both supervise when the other isn't in the office and use the same computer) which pulls the necessary backup data from the server. They don't have access to the server itself - its all done through the program itself. Both flash drives are the same brand and size.

I thought the drive letter was just assigned sequentially... what letter does the drive get assigned before you change it? Do you have drives for D, E, F and G?
