Just one comment here: if the drive letter remains / reverts / is assigned to E:, then there will be an unpredictable likelihood on future occasions, that some other device may have first grabbed that drive letter as an automatic assignment, before this particular external drive will have had a chance to claim it - as has probably happened here.
Something else - USB key, phone, card reader, other drive, whatever that is connected when this drive is not there, will not know to leave E: clear and unused. You are only setting the "first choice" that the drive in question will ask for in cases where nothing else already has that.
Two drives can never share the same letter, and if something else is currently E:, it is not currrently possible to set this drive to that.
So my suggestion would be, not to change this back to E:, but instead to some drive letter much further on through the alphabet - all the way up to Z: is available. Then, re-link the images onto the drive at that new more.. exclusive address, following ssprengel's method in post 2.
