I'm not sure about safely removing the vir. drives, but you should able to reassign the drive letters. Change the vir. drives first then change the other drives back to the old letters. Right Click on My Computer, Click on Manage, find Disk Management, then right click on the drives you want to change and choose the change drive letter and paths, and click Change, and click on the letter drop down menu to pick new letter, click OK. Do that for each drive you want to change.
