franp User I bought this full price in 2020 and it is worth every penny. I use it to permanently fix the drive letter of my backup disks.Does a fundamental job that should be at the Windows OS level...

Louis H Agree with franp User. Have been using this program for many years. One of the first programs I make sure is installed on any new system. Has saved me a lot of time and headaches in setting up and managing my drives. The Lifetime Upgrades option is HIGHLY recommended.I suggest you do not let this deal go by without purchasing.

RS To Crystal Rich Support: I never heard back from you regarding the problem I reported last September regarding Zentimo's errant notifications indicating the status of encrypted disks. Has this issue been resolved? Since you haven't released an update since April 2021, it would appear not. Please advise.

I've posted my September 2022 email to you below:

I've attached a screenshot when the pop-up appeared (lower right corner). Upon further examination, it doesn't appear on a regular schedule, but it occurs seemingly randomly--sometimes once or twice in an hour, but multiple times within a shorter period at other times. Clearly, something triggers the pop-up, which conveys inaccurate information to the user. Throughout, my 'G' disk has remained locked, yet the message reflects an event that supposedly unlocks the disk.

Alcyr Paulo User Can zentimo make a device readable only? ie, not writtable for some or even all time.

Igor Tkachenko @RS: I'm sorry I didn't respond to your report. I have tried to investigate and reproduce your issue but to no avail. Furthermore we don't have any reports about this issue from other users. I may only suppose the issue is caused by other low level system software - most likely backup software. I'll contact you via email if you are still interested to resolve the issue (or at least to find a workaround).

Igor Tkachenko @Alcyr Paulo User: No Zentimo cannot make drives read only. Though we may consider to add this feature in the following versions.

Igor Tkachenko @franp User, @Louis H and @anders: Guys, thanks a lot for you kind words!

Myrna Larson To franp User: You commented that the ability to assign permanent disk drive letter should be part of the OS.

In fact it has been part of Windows - since at least version 7 in 2009. Right-click the start button, and select Disk Management from the menu. From the list of drives, right-click the disk of interest and select "Change drive letter and paths".

I assume Zentimo has some features that Windows doesn't, but drive letter assignment is not one them.

Friday at 8:29am Copy Link

Igor Tkachenko @Myrna Larson: Windows may change drive letter assigned to a specific device. Ie you assign drive letter E: to a device, later this device may be given another letter, ie I:. In some cases it's not OK for a user, so Zentimo allows to fix drive letter to a specific device which means other devices won't obtain this letter and this device will always be assigned to E:. That what "franp User" meant. Besides Zentimo may fix several drives to the same letter provided that they are not used at the same time and many more drive letter management things.

Louis H @Myrna Larson, I have had past problems using the Windows method you mention when it comes to detachable drives. I have about a dozen of them. only time this built in Windows method has worked for me is when it comes to installed drives. (From Win 7 - Through Win 11) - Until I started using Zentimo, I had problems keeping my detachable drives managed. I could certainly be doing something wrong when it comes to my end, but besides all the other things Zentimo covers for me, I can focus on other issues that come up, other than this one.

@ RS, I use encryption on some of my detachable drives, but have never had the problem you mention. But I do know that Igor has been VERY helpful, in the past, whenever I did have a problem. I'd take him up on his offer as you now have his attention. While I have not had the same problem you are having, the problem I did have was indeed not due to Zentimo itself, but to how a different program interacted with it. I can't even remember what the other program was, but I do remember getting rid of it, never missing it, but never having the same problem again.

Myrna Larson I've never had the problems others are describing. Over the years, I've used about 10 different external hard disk drives, as many as 5 at a time, and they always appear in my drive list with the letters I've assigned.

PS: Disk Management was included with Windows XP, i.e. even before Windows 7.

Alcyr Paulo User If comming, this feature will be fantastic, for instance to preserve the integrity of any sample or sound of a soundbank when it is in play, but also every time while protected

Louis H I know this discount has passed, but I wanted to add a problem I had that Zentimo helped me solve today. I had purchased a Sabrent disc bay to hold two new 2tb SSD's. No matter what I was trying, my system would not recognize these new drives so I could format them. Tried everything. Nothing worked. Zentimo, however, recognized the drives and allowed me to eventually get another program to ID them and get them formatted. Others, a lot smarter than I am, might have been able to figure it out without Zentimo, but it allowed me to see that both drives were indeed not the problem, but Win 11 was not recognizing them. This allowed me to pinpoint the problem and get it resolved. Zentimo did not solve the problem, itself, but it allowed me to realize it was indeed a problem with Win 11 and not the drives, or disc bay. The few people I was able to speak with via different forums kept trying to tell me the drives were defective. Zentimo showed me they were not.
