English term or phrase: driver letters
From the user manual of an MP3 player:

Some operating systems (under Windows 2K SP4) can not support two driver letters in one USB disk. Thus, if “Private Space” function is on, choose which disk you are going to use, i.e., “single ordinary disk” or “single encrypted disk”, in order for correct display of selected disk after connecting to PC.

The text is written by a non-native speaker, thus it might be faulty. But I actually found "driver letter(s)" on the internet. And I even found "Treiberbuchstabe(n)". But I somehow think that's not the right term.

Thank you for your help.

And Happy New Year, everybody!
