System reserved is C: and OS is D:?

Changing the drive letter of an installed OS is very difficult and time consuming. Reinstalling the OS is the easy way.

It's not difficult at all, I did it in cmd?
The problem is when I restart, ( Failing to boot again ) return to the cmd in the repair disk and check the disks and letters etc, everything was back to what it once was, as if I never changed the letter to C: etc.
So the changes I make to the letters just doesn't stay.

One thing I have in mind is to delete the system reserved partition, then re-create a brand new system reserved?
I'm pretty sure people have done that before when they accidentally deleted their system reserved or something.
Is this a good idea?

Ah, I didn't know you could access disk management from the OS installation disk.
Just a reminder that I'm unable to access my OS which is what I'm trying to solve, if it be can be solved.

via cmd. I'm using the windows installation disk to access the startup repair etc.


Okay okay. So in order.

1. My computer with whatever was inside it at the time, works fine.

2. I had bought a brand new motherboard, CPU and RAM and had upgraded computer components.

3. I'm here on my laptop seeking guidance aha.

I haven't done anything with my drives, no new windows installation, no installing anything, simply just connected everything back up to my new motherboard and here I am.

Changing the drive letter is easy. But changing it so things actually work, that is the hard part.

True. I mean it works, but then it reverts back for some reason, I'll change everything around in cmd but then when I restart and go back into the cmd ( via windows installation disk ), nothing stays the same.
