Default Please help with my external hard drive!!

Hi there,

The background
I have an external hard drive, which connects via USB to my PC.

I have a large number of .WAV files saved to this drive, and I use Windows media player to play the music. I have playlists etc setup in media player.

The external drive is usually turned off, and only switched on every few days when I want music. The cable is always in the same usb slot on my PC.

The problem
The drive shows up as a different location each time I turn it on. weeks ago it was consisently showing as the "J" Drive. As such, all the playlists have file paths to the J drive. For the last few days, the external drive has been recognised as being the "K" Drive. Mediaa player is still looking for the J drive so it won't play the music! very frustrating..

any ideas?? Ideally I want to set the PC to always put this external drive in J or K, but it needs to be constant..

I really appreciate any help anyone may be able to give
