Anybody have an idea of how to get to the bottom of this?

It's right there in the screen cap that you posted. Your DVD drive is
currently using "D:".

Right click on the DVD drive and change its drive letter to something
else, then you'll be able to right click on your data partition and
change its letter to D:.

This is rather strange. Everyone but me seems to be seeing a DVD drive
in that screenshot. I see no such thing, only a Drive 0 with partitions
C: and Z: and three unnamed ones, and an unnamed Drive 1 of 22.36GB.

My prior reply to you is based on the above experience.

Strange, I say :-)

It's the drive below Drive 1, do you need to scroll the picture down?
