As posted in the patch thread on general.
For anyone who has win2k (dunno about XP home), you can easily change the drive letter. Right-Click on "My Computer" and select "Manage." Choose "Disk Management" from the tree on the left. On the right side, right-click your CD-ROM drive and select "change drive letter and path." Then click the Edit button on the dialog that appears. In the next dialog change your drive to be the first available one. It might have to be the first available one AFTER your windows drive; I'm just guessing. You might also be able to ADD a new drive name so that your CD-ROM drive is associated with two different drive names at the same time, but I haven't tried that (in case you don't want to screw things up that depend on the CD-ROM drive being where it is now).
I believe you will experience this problem if there is a gap in the lettering sequence between your Windows drive and your CD-ROM drive.
This should work for Win2k and XP. If you're encountering this problem on a different OS, this won't help you.
Screenshots of relevant dialogs attached.
