Removing Old Drive Letter Assignments

Hi,
Have a small problem and I am going in circles..
I was moving a HDD and the DVD drive around so that I could get the HDD on D and the DVD on any other letter (Needed D for something else that I could not change). Found out something. Windows doesn't want to let go of a drive letter even if the drive is no longer installed.
Finally, after trying partition programs, and others, reading a lot on the screen, I finally took a look in the Registry. There they were, drives that were active, and drives that were removed a while back. It was showing the D drive.
I need to assign D to the HDD due to a older program that, if I replaced it, it would be $$$, but only likes D. Any ideas, help, thoughts, or whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rich G
