Question about 'Designate Your Own Drive Letters'

I have a question about Designate Your Own Drive Letters:

I have an iTunes library spread between a system hard drive and a USB hard drive. The latter was designated F: when the library was established. Since then, I removed a broken CD-ROM and replaced it with a DVD-ROM. The new drive assumed drive letter E:, but for some reason, the old one still appears as F: in Windows Explorer. So the USB drive has a new drive letter, and iTunes can't find the library. "Disk Management" or "DISKPART" will not allow me to remove drive F: (the non-existent CD-ROM), so I can't reassign the USB drive to F:. Is there any way to remove the ghost CD-ROM from the system so that drive F: can be free to assign to the USB hard drive? tia
