I think TweakUI may be able to do that. Go to google.com and type in tweakui, then hit "I'm Feeling Lucky." It will take you directly to Microsoft's TweakUI page. After you download it, run tweakui.inf to install (you wont believe how long it took me to figure that out).

Well I'm lazy. Besides, TweakUI doesn't extend very far. *starts resource-hacking explorer.exe* :chinese2:

Windows does allow you to reassign drive letters, but the method is different for Win9X and the NT based versions... type 'drive letters' in your windows help search box for instructions.
One note though, it won't let you change your second HD to D:\ if your CD-ROM is already using that letter, so you'll first have to change your CD-ROM to F:\ in order to free that letter, then change the HD to D:\
After that, you can set your CD-ROM to E:\
