Drive letters changing themselves?

Two optical drives, changed them to Y & Z and a secondary SATA drive, two
partitions set as W & X
OK for a long time but now the optical drives have reverted to G & H and the
partitions on HDD to I & J. D, E & F used for another HDD.
Why is this happening and how can I stop it happening again if I re-assign
drive letters?
Replies appreciated.

Did you by chance do a system restore to an earlier level?

Not Windows system restore but had restored a True Image backup some time
ago, would that have done it?
Incidentally trying to restore the same image now True Image tells me that
the image file is corrupt? This relates to another post here by me
regarding a failed Repair install.

That is about the only thing that can make those addresses revert to the
previous setting.

How many operating systems installed?

Have you moved the disk to or from another computer?
