How would i find out which letter is assigned to a computer's hard drive or cd-rom.

Look at the WINAPI functions GetLogicalDrives() and GetDriveType().

You can use GetLogicalDrives() to determine which drive letters are available and then GetDriveType() to determine what type of a drive it is.

Good Luck.
