    You cannot change the OS drive letter without ruining the OS. But if it still boots then it may be salvageable.

    Post back a screenshot of Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image.

    If it won't boot you can rescue your files to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything needed is in the blue link.
