External USB hard drive, drive letters

Hi
We have 5 editing workstations with Windows XP SP2 and about 15 users who
use these 5 workstations. Each user has an External USB drive.
Is there a way to force one drive letter for all users that plug in their
External USB drives into these 5 computers?
For example when a user plugs in their hard drive to PC 1 or PC 2 or PC 3 or
PC 4 or PC 5, they should see the same drive letter "O" as their external
drive.
Currently it seems to be changing on us and it's out of our control.
Thank you

If they are identical drives i think that would be the default behaviour
(you should find most of them identical) - exception being if another type
of device (pen drive) has already been installed/identified by one of the
machines where it has allocate a drive letter - but in this case you can
simply open that particular computer/hardware properties and uninstall the
foreign device and then plug in/install your std drive
