BIOS is disabled as soon the operating system switches to protected mode. Then all communication with the hardware is done through system drivers. Therefore it is technically impossible for the BIOS to overwrite OS settings (also consider that the BIOS doesn't have any information about the filesystem on the harddrive - driver code for NTFS write access would be much too large to fit into the BIOS).
I doubt this is a hardware problem. See if you can uninstall all CD/DVD emulation software and then switch the drive letters, reboot and look if they still revert to the old settings.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
