Instructions for "renaming" a CD-ROM drive in Win95 are given in KB article 121926. WinME should be similar enough, with some adjustment in the first couple of seps. Since Win95 allowed you to use real-mode drivers loaded from Config.Sys and/or Autoexec.bat or protected mode drivers loaded by Windows, it sometimes assumed the protected mode driver loaded for a second CD drive was for the same drive, and gave both CD drives the "same name."

The same general method should work for any drive.

quoting:

RESOLUTION
Assign the CD-ROM drive running in protected mode to a different drive letter.

You can change the drive letter of a CD-ROM drive by performing the following steps:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon, then click the Device Manager tab.
3. Select the CD-ROM you want to change from the list, then click the Properties button.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. In the Reserved Drive Letters section, set Start Drive Letter and End Drive Letter to the drive letter you want the CD-ROM to use. Click the OK button.
6. Click the Start button on the taskbar and click Shut Down. Then click Restart The Computer.
The CD-ROM drive letter should now be the letter you selected and the second CD-ROM should be accessible.

endquote.

Basically, you use Device Manager to assign to a specific drive the range of "names" it can use, and set both ends of the range to the same drive letter.

Win2K and WinXP allow a very similar assignment when you "mount" a drive from your LAN, and the customary selection there is to start at Z for mounted drives and work backwards for such drives.
