My D: drive was to my DVD player. I also have a CD-Write that has no letter
assigned to it. I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I did try to assign
a letter through the control panel without success.

That's an operating system questions... not really an Access question...
Give also more information... what was your D Drive? a CD? a Hard disk
partition? a ZIP drive?
did you check the control panel? What version of Windows you running?

The Windows XP group could help you better... but your problem is either in
the connection of the CD-RW and DVD (make sure you have set the jumpers as
one master and one slave per controller [flat] cable (on the back of the
drives), that the ribbon cable is properly connected (red-ribbon side to the
power connector side), and to Pin 1 on the motherboard. Make sure they both
have also proper power connected (the four-wire white flat connector). This
configuration properly connected should be detected by the bios and by
Windows XP upon booting up and install the standard CD drives for both.
The letters get assigned automatically as the OS finds the drives on the
controller.

Never mind...the problem is fixed by this sorry layman. I removed the cd
hardware...and rebooted. The system found new hardware and installed
it...recapturing my drives...lol

Thanks Vic for your time.

Excuse me. Have I missed like 16 days here or what?
Your post is dated for November 29th.
My clock shows November 13th.

Then to top it off, idiots reply by posting in the past instead of the
future.

Are you guys smokin or drinkin something anything good or what?
 
Relax, Richard! The date and time come from the system time on the computer
of the sender of the message. Some people don't set their system date or
time out of ignorance. Others - like spammers - purposely set it in the
future which is just one more IRRITATING thing those anti-social idiots do
to make life miserable (like their own lives).
