I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 Bit. The hard drive is 500GB. This is a HP that provides Windows 7 OS on drive C: and System Recover Software on partition Drive D:
The drive letter changed and Windows is no longer on C: I can't get to the command prompt and can't log on in safe mode. I tried to reinstall windows from my backup disks, however, the diagnostics indicates the Total Memory is 4096 mb. I cannot restore back to factory because D: Recover Files is a different Letter. I have tried my Windows Repair Disks, System Recovery Disks, System Image Backups, and Advanced Repair Options in the Bios. It was suggested that I try Bootrec.exe, however, I can't get to the command prompt. The data is on the disk, however, unless I can change the drive letters back to normal, the only thing I am able to do is get into the Bios to change the boot order to boot from the CD Rom.
"C" is now "E", "D" is now "C" and "E" is now "C". This laptop has an internal CD drive which used to be "E" I can boot from the CD drive. There is no floppy drive.
Please help me since I have tried everything suggested on this forum or on the internet. Thank you in advance.
