Repartitioning my hard drive causes my CD-ROM drive to change its assigned letter. Is there some way I can give the CD player a fixed letter from the start that won't change?
To give your CD-ROM drive an unchanging drive letter, right-click My Computer and select Properties. Click the Device Manager tab. In the resulting list of peripherals, double-click CD-ROM. Below it will appear a description of your particular CD-ROM drive. Double-click that to bring up your CD-ROM drive's properties. Click the Settings tab. In the 'Reserved drive letters' box, change both the 'Start drive letter' and 'End drive letter' options to your choice of a permanent letter. This letter should be late enough in the alphabet that it won't interfere with Windows' method of naming hard drive partitions. Anything after J drive is bound to be safe. Click ok when you're done.
