Right click on My Computer->Manage->Disk Management->Right click on CD and change drive letter
OR Maybe.
Go into the device manager and change the CDROMS to S: and T:
This is the first thing I did after installing XP was to make sure that the CDROMS were still S: & T: ( I put XP over 98SE ) Then when I did add the slave drive it did not mess up the HD partition letters.
In fact I started that practice way back in the DOS Win3.11 days. And have just carried it right on
The slave continued right on as H: I: J: The master being C: thru G:

I just loaded Windows XP onto a new computer. I created a partition with Partition Magic and that it, too, came up F. I'm really not bothered by it as I don't any command line. But what I do is to give the hard drive partitions VOLUME NAMES. Right click and rename them. It helps me sort them out.
I have a card reader. So I have all kinds of drive letters. It gets better when I add the USB Pen Drive!
thanx guys! i found a site which told me how to do it. exactly as Steve R Jones said.. cheers for ur help, and u once again billy! ur almost my live saver! lol
I may have helped to save your life but darn near tore my own apart BADLY
I was deleting some long gone program folders in XP and was ready to hit the DELETE key when I noticed ( thank GOD ) that the C:\Windows folder was highlighted.
I do not think all parts of my body are back in place yet.
