There is no way for a hard drive letter to be above a CD drive letter. I
know I've tried long and hard.  Best bet is to move the CD letter out to M
so you room for growth. Tht way you can add zip drive, sparq, more hard
drives and CD will still be the same letter.

According to my understadning of how drive letters are assigned:
Boot get's C,  then next real partition gets D, then extended partitions,
then removeable drives and cd's.
