Sure, go to the Administrator Tools - Computer Management – Disk Management, Select the drive, right click and select Change drive letter and Paths…

To expand a little on that...I make my CD-ROM as "R" for Reader, and my burner as "W" for Writer.
That way, if you ever add more drives/partitions to your system, they will not need to change (unless you exceed partition "R"!).
I have been known to have C through N :-D Cheers,
Jim
