In my tests on five different NT4.0 machines:
1) Found the CD which was last drive (except for network drives connected).
2) Found the CD which was fourth of six drive letters (including one hard drive
partition after the CD).
3) Found the first of two CD ROM drives.
4) Found the first of four drive letters assigned to a CD changer.
5) Came up with a blank label on a machine without a CD.

Hope this answers your question.
