DVD drive letter changed after rebooting the system

[Guest]

Recently I had to reinstall my system, which went ok.
Now I found out my DVD drives were assigned on letter I and J.
Since I didn't want them to be there I changed the letters to
Y and Z with the help of the diskmanagement. Still no problem,
everything worked fine. But then after the reboot one of the drive letters
was back at I instead of Y. The other one is still on Z as I wanted it to be.
What could be wrong?

I am using XP Pro SP2.

Sounds like the ZoneAlarm problem:

After some additional digging on the Web I found this link:

http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=inst&message.id=56550

It has something to do with the latest version of ZoneAlarm.
I don't know if they will bring an update for it soon.

What worked for me is to disconnect the PC from the network,
uninstall ZoneAlarm, reboot, set the Driveletters as I wanted, reboot,
install ZoneAlarm again and another reboot.

Now it seems to be ok.
