    Dang, you beat me to P... I'm at L at the moment :)

    Anyway, try Partition Wizard, although you will most likely BSOD yourself because path's are quite important.

    Whatever volume you boot from should become C.

    Do you think you could post a snip of disk management?

    Leave it or reinstall with C: free.

    To assign C: and cut out the 100mb SysReserved partition installed when you format using installer:

    Boot DVD>Repair console>Recovery tools, open Command Line, type:
    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK # (for Windows 7 disk)
    clean
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    assign letter=c:
    active
    format
    exit
