Default set identifying letters

I just upgraded to win XP. In previous versions of windows I've always setup my CD and DVD devices to the letters X, Y, and Z. This prevents mixups when particianing Hard drives. I can't seem to find how to do this in win XP. Suggestions?

This feature is built in to windows XP.

To find click START - CONTROL PANEL - ADMINISTARTIVE TOOLS - COMPUTER MANAGEMENT - in the left hand pane click on disk management. When the right hand pane loads you can right click on the CD drives and click "change drive letter and paths". It's very simple and easy to do.
