Drive Letters in Windows

Is it possible to manually assign which letter goes to which drive
ie C:/Local disk
d :/dvd drive
e:/sd card reader
etc etc

or is it all controlled by windows.

Using Media Centre edition if it makes a difference

thanks in advance for any replies

Right click on my computer and click manage then click disk management in the left pane.
Right-click the drive or partition that you want to assign a drive letter to, and then click change drive letter and paths.
Then click on change driver letter and paths and away you go

Yeah its quite easy to do but if you want to use a letter thats already in use you have to assign that drive another letter then set your other drive to the freed up letter.
