    Drive letter in "list volume" WRE is different from "My Computer" Fix?


    Hi there I have noticed that my drive letters shown in disk management are different from those being shown in "list volume" in the windows recovery console command prompt. Below are some pictures, number one showing my current partition setup with the drive letters and number two-four showing what is shown in "list volume" in the windows recovery console command prompt.

    SEE PIC #1 ; SEE PIC #2, SEE PIC #3, SEE PIC #4

    NOTE: If I do a "list volume" in a non recovery console command prompt the drive letters are shown as they are shown in disk management.

    I believe that is normal since the recovery console assigns letters based on which partition it sees first. It is not aware of the fact that the System Reserved partition doesn't get a drive letter assigned as does Windows.
