Subject: Harddrive Designation Letters



I had two harddrives on the primary channel(Master/Slave) and two cd drives
on the secondary channel.  It use to be that the two harddrives would be C:
and D: followed by any logical drives and then the CD drives.  I had C-J
drives.  I installed a new HD in the same position as the old one -slave on
the Primary channel with 3 logical drives.  Now my D: drive is one of the
CDdrives and the new HD is later in the alphabet.  Previously, Under WinME,
I could designate the drive letter for Cd/DVD drives.  I like to have a
letter later in the alphabet to allow for adding logical drives on the
harddrive.  In Win XP I don't find this setting in properties for the CD
drives.  How can I correct this situation so that the 2 Primary HD's are
first followed by the Logical drives?  How can I push the CDDrives later
into the alphabet?  OS is Windows XP-Home, SP2.  Thank you, William Patton
