I want to add a second hard drive to my computer and want to call it drive
D:\ but my CD drive has been allocated D.

In the old days of Win ME et al, you could go into device manager, click on
the CD drive and change the letter, you don't seem able to do that in XP Pro
and I would actually like to move the CD Drive further along and make it G

I can see that Disk Management tools enable you to change HDD drive letters,
but not CD???

Yes, you can use Disk Management to re-assign CD-Rom drive letters.
