From http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-024

Windows 2000 and Windows XP

    * Open the Disk Management console (diskmgmt.msc).
    * Right-click on any drive, and select Change drive letter and path.
    * Windows will let you know if the drive letter cannot be changed for some 
reason. 


So the option looks to be available in the management console, but possibly 
not in the plain "properties" of the device or the device manager.
