I've only tried the mounting of a USB thumb drive (which
I've named the
volume label) into different USB slots, and each time it is
recognized in
the folder location I originally mounted it to. Example: I
named my usb
drive "cruzer" and had it assigned to the folder
c:_cruzer. Each time I
plug it in (no matter which usb slot), it is always mounted
in that same
location.
I doubt very much if it will mount to the same location on a
different
computer, I assume you would have to run the disk management
again to set it
up.
After mounting, I was able to go back into disk management
and assign it a
drive letter, then access it via the new letter, or the
folder location -
even after unplugging/replugging into different usb slot.
I can't answer all your questions, so suggest you
experiment.
