hi

is it possible to add these drive letters (A and B), normally unused and unmapped in windows?

currently i use these letters (in windows 7 and 10) mapping network shares, having all other letters already used

maybe will work correctly too in this product

thank you

Don't think mounting to the A and B letters is a good idea. Windows back in the days doesn't support A and B letters for drives, because their were reserved for floppy disk. Well obviously noboy uses floppy disks today, but well they are still reserved. You can mount disk to those letters but it is not recommended, because windows still treats A and B not the same as all other letters.
