Is there a way to make a USB key be recognized as A: in Windows XP?

I don't want to make a bootable USB key, but I have to transfer a certain program license via floppy (no other option) and the new PC does not have a floppy installed. My option is to get a USB Floppy, but that isn't the question. Changing drive letters for the USB key when in Windows does not give me an option to change A: Thanks in advance!

    You can use the SUBST command from the command prompt. What it does is redirect calls from one drive (in your case A:) to a virtual drive with the letter of your choice. So what you do is create this virtual drive, from the command prompt (example, drive letter can be any letter not in use)

    c:\subst j: a:

    Understand now, this is a VIRTUAL drive, so you will need to copy the data from your USB flash drive to the virtual drive. Now, whenever a call is made for drive a: it will go to drive j:.

    I hope this answers your question.

    A: and B: are reserved for the floppy drives so as far as i know, no you can't

    robert, that would work for any other drive letter apart from A or B

    Click on Start

    Click on Control Panel

    Click on Administrative Tools

    Click on Computer Management

    Under Storage, Click Disk Management

    Right Click on the partition whose drive letter you want to change - When you right click, you are looking for "change drive letter and paths"

    This should do the trick. Hope this helps
