Why do disks' names (C, D,...) mix up, when I run my computer from a bootable CD?

I have 2 physical disks. First one is divided into 2 logical partitions: C
and D. Second physical hard disk has name G (it does not divided). Disks E
and F are CD disk drives. It happened because the G disk was added later.

It's OK for my everyday work. But when I boot my computer from a bootable CD
(in a repair situation), letters of disks are mixed up, I am forced to guess
which disk is which by folders.

Can I get rid of this defect? How can I do this without of reinstallation my
applications?

Thanks in advance

It is not a defect, think about what is happening when you boot from the CD.
Suggest you make an identifiable folder in the root of each drive, if it is
a problem for you.
Heirloom, old and by design
 
Just a thought,

If you go into your disk manager,
set your CD drives up higher in the alphabet,
such as H & I, so they will not interfere with your hard drives.

To get into the disk manager:
Click Start, right click My Computer,
select Manage, click Disk management,

Open up your monitor to full screen.
Highlite you cd drives one at a time

Click Action at the top and All tasks,
select - Change drive letters and paths
