Re: Changing Drive letter on disks and CD/DVD

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Move the DVD letter designation down to S or T for instance and be done with
it already. If you previously installed programs from the DVD drive, there
may be hauntings and complaints from those programs.

You can juggle drive letter designations on the remainder, some temporarily,
until you get it the way you want it.
