How is the external HD formatted? If NTFS, then this is most likely
what is happening. Maybe you can rename your accout on the other PCs
(a different account on each), then somehow grant permission through
the laptop that originally created the repository.
Otherwise, the only way I know of to make user JohnDoe on one MS
windows PC as user JohnDoe on another windows PC is to make one (in
your case, the first laptop) a server, then import that user to other
PCs.
As for your other problem - changing driver letters - a solution that
usually works for me (though also a pain), is to make sure all of my
known USB storage devices are plugged in (and recognized) before
plugging in a new one (or a friend's USB storage device). Once known,
when plugged in, again, a device will *usually* be assigned the same
letter it had the last time.
