Sometimes Windows won't automatically assign a drive letter to a USB
storage device. Sometimes it automatically assigns one which isn't free.

In both cases the solution is to manually assign one via the "Disk
Management" tool.

As to why this happens it's probably just another quirk of how Windows
does USB.
