My USB disc comes up with the letter 'J'. Because I have references to it with a letter 'X' I want to change it and I do that in the Computer Management tool with

 

the Disk Management utility.

Computer - Right click - Computer Management

Disk Manegement - Right-click the drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths

Assigne a new letter

Everything works fine but suddenly after a reboot Windows 8 loses the letter 'X' for this disc and assignes 'J' again.

I have done so with this drive for years under Windows 7 without any problems. Any idea, please what the problem might be?
