Changing CD drive letter to D

I have a certain program for which the CD needs to be in Drive D. The problem is that my 2 CD drives are E and F respectively- I do not have a Drive D at all.
Can I somehow change one of them so that it would, in fact, be drive D? Thanks

Start rt click My Computer, click manage. Click Disk management. Move to lower rt pane and right click your first CD drive. Click Change Drive letter and paths. Change this drive to D and problem solved.

Be careful as your current D: drive may be hidden and may contain the factory image of your C: drive.
My curiosity needs to know what requires that the drive letter be the letter D:? I have not seen this requirement before.
