Drive Letter Mounting

I'm hoping some of the collective knowledge on pprune can help me with a minor problem.

I am running Windows 7 and listen to all my music through Windows Media Player. I have a very large music collection, and so have stored all my files on an external hard drive with I have permanently connected via USB.

When I first start storing my files this way, the external drive had the label E:. And it is this location that WMP looks for in its library. However, recently I have found that every time I reboot my computer it now assigns the external drive as F:.

Although it is straightforward and simple enough to reset the drive to E: I am finding it frustrating to have to do this every time. I have tried changing the USB slot to each of those on the computer, but it still reverts the drive after rebooting to F:. Can anybody please advise on a way to permanently fix the external drive as E:, or conversely, easily alter the pathway for all the files in the WMP library to now look in F:?

Any help would be appreciated.
