The A drive is usually reserved for the 3.5 floppy drives. Not sure why or how you got yours to be listed that way. It could be the reason. The game might have coding in it to use a certain drive letter assignment to look for the CD/DVD when playing the game. But I am not certain. The installation would not have such a thing as you are starting it from whichever location your installer is at.
You could try a complete reinstall of the OS to see how it sets it up for a second time. Maybe look at the BIOS and see what it has listed for the drives.
As for BF2. It no longer needs the CD/DVD to play the game. As long as you have the latest patch. Soon BF2142 will be the same way.
Is this the retail version of Windows 7 or a release candidate version?
