XP SP2

Setup
Boot Drive : SCSI (no problems with drive letter)
IDE1: 2 - harddrives Drives E: & F: (no problems with drive letters)
IDE2: CDROM & LS120 (CDROM is a problem, LS120 Floppy A:)
2 SCSI drives striped together to form a volume (Drive letter is a problem)

I originally set this up to boot from a SCSI drive C:, which is does and
there are no issues here. I took 2 separate SCSI drives, striped them
together and called the new volume D:. Then let the cards fall where they
may for the IDE devices.

I use the striped SCSI for programs and swap file.

A while back my CDROM started coming up as drive D: and my striped SCSI
changed to drive G: and I can not seem to get drive letter assignments to
stay put. I have tried both DiskPart and the Disk Management console. I
moved the swap file to an IDE and still the CDROM changes to D:.

I'd like to fix the problem before I have to edit the registry to change the
drive letter of the installed programs.
 
You're fighting city hall. Change the drive letter for the cdrom to S: or
T:. Move E: and F: up the ladder to D: and E:.

Most profound is the denial of why we may
