always boot up using the same drive letter everytime. If
anyone can help.

Ensure you always keep them attached to the same ports. By that I mean that
if hard drive A is ALWAYS attached to USB port 1 and hard drive B is ALWAYS
attached to USB port 2, they should remain the same. Accidentally get them
mixed up and XP will assume they are different devices, and assign different
drive letters.
