Start --> Administrative Tools (either in the Start menu, the all programmes menu or control panel)

Select 'Computer Management'

Storage --> Disk Management

For hard drive --> click on the hard disk with a blue horizonal bar which shade the box. Right click on the partition you wish to change and then click on "Change Letter Drive and Path"

For CD/DVD --> Right click on the drive you wish to change and select "change letter drive and path"

Click 'Change'

Assign the letter you want and then click 'Ok'

Hopefully, that'll do it!
