Change Hard Drive Letter

I have a new computer that runs Windows 7 Prof 64 bit. I noticed when I got it the following.

Drive C (Windows 7 on it and it's the boot drive)
Drive E (second hard drive
Drive D (CDROM drive)
Hard Drives are both 1TB SATA3
What is on the E drive is data I copied there.
I would like to change the E drive to D and the CDROM drive D to E.
This way my hard drives will be C and D and the CDROM will be E.
I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?

You can do that in Disk Management. Right click on the drive(s) and you will see. But you will first have to assign a different letter (e.g. M) to E or D to free up that letter. If you have data on E, it may lose the path though.

Change the CDROM Drive letter??

How do I reassign a different letter to the CDROm drive to free up the letter D?
