Yes, the method described here;

Remember, its not what life does to you, but what you do with what life does to you, that matters.

Thank you very much; not too bad
wish there is a way to assign individual drive letters

The method described enables you to select the drive letter. In the example "H" was used but it could be X, Y, Z, etc.

===extract from method ===========

Now manually type in switch "-l" (the -l is a lower case L) and the desired drive letter, for example "H". It should now look like "C:\Program Files\Pogoplug\ppfs.exe" -l H

=== ends======================

In any case you must leave enough free drive letter before the assigned drive letter for any new physical drives which may be added to your computer later.

Remember, its not what life does to you, but what you do with what life does to you, that matters.

individual letter for each of the 4 drives on one unit will be a good thing

thanks, Peter

Were you able to figure this out?  It seems that the directions you received were just for picking a new drive letter, not for assigning multiple letters, right?  I'm not aware of a workaround for this.

I am not sure if this function still exists in WinXP+, but I believe there was a command called Subst that assigned a drive letter to a path. You could assign the one drive letter to the device using the method described above. Each USB drive creates a folder under that drive letter with the volume name as the name of the folder.

This is a sample command:
