Hello,
Since this is WinPE I don't think Disk Management is available
Try this using diskpart:
run diskpart.
Then run.
List Volume (to show the volumes to get the cd-rom volume number)
Select Volume 0 (select cd-rom volume in this case it's volume 0)
Assign letter=E ( this is where you assign drive letter E to the CD-Drive)
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

| Right-click on the MY COMPUTER desktop icon and select MANAGE.

|
| Note:
|
| XP's DiskPart utility is capable of only partitioning a hard drive that
is empty
| or has "unallocated" free space.
| For example, if you were to install a new second drive, DiskPart can be
| used to partition and format it. DiskPart cannot segregate current files
from
| free space, therefore, only a sophisticated third-party partitioning
program,
| such as Partition Magic 8 , can be used with a drive that already has
Windows XP
| installed.
|
| The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
| and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to use
| a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.
