Win 7 Install Has Made A Mess
I've had to re-install Windows 7. And it naturally did something completely screwy -
- Disk 0 used to be Disk 1, and vice versa.
- Rearranged my Disk labels, and drive letters in a nonsensical way, but far worse, it has labeled my Documents drive as "System, Active" (in MiniTools Partition Wizard it is labeled as "Boot" status). And no, I didn't ask Windows 7 Install to do anything to Disk 1, I very much wanted it to be left alone.
I want the J: Documents drive to be E: or F: and not bootable (it's only for storing data). And I would like the letters on a particular disk to follow in sequence (makes sense, right?)
And the other "cool" thing is that the J: Documents drive doesn't even appear in File Manager - I assume because it is marked as a boot disk, and I'm not actually booting from that drive. So, can't reach my documents. How can I fix things without losing all my data? Thanks for the help!
