Solved How can I move C: drive where it belongs?

[gold eagle]

Hello every one, this is my problem, my letter C: is in system restore it shows this when I go with disk to repair disk, when I load drives it does not take me to system 32 any more it looks like my computer, first drive is F: I think, somehow, when I did dispart I diskscramble them, because I was trying to fix a bootmissing error I got......I activated more than 1.......... got this last error because I was trying to bring f11 factory settings to my second OS, which my husband had suggested we just use as storage, this was years ago I thought I could do it, but somehow even though I changed boot in bios apparently did not take, and went straight to C: so... thinking I still had a second OS, I tried bootrec/fixboot and I found my self with element not found, so I have to bother you and ask if any of you think there is any hope for this nice omelette I have made out of my drives. or if it is good for parts now. (lol parts are not even good now.....)

So what do you think?

Sorry I forgot both C: and G: are same OS windows 7 64 bit Home Edition restoring to factory settings on f11 I got the message error 0xe0ef0003 ............................after it had taken C: away -.- seemed like it was working fine......after error when I booted again that is when I had bootmgr missing error.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
How about uploading one of these,
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/274797-disk-management-post-screen-capture-image.html

You can try using Start and type
msconfig
Go to the Boot section and see if you recognize the correct os and make it the default

Each os once booted to it will show it's self as C

If just a drive confusion just swap the sata port on the mother board might be the easiest thing to do ?

Thank you ThrashZone for your reply.

I personally like easy but I know nothing about computers, I don't know what a sata is and I would love to give you pictures I can only do that by camera at this point I cannot go to start comp will not boot into windows is a desktop and I am actually in a laptop now. I will look in to the sata and maybe that is the answer thank you for suggestion I will look into it and will let you know if that fixed the problems ok?

As you rightfully said, you seem to have no clue about computers and should really not mess with them. But if you post a picture of your disk management, we will try to get you over this problem.

 

[gold eagle]

whs!! nice to meet you!

I have seen you all over the forums a lot of you helping people out , and yes thank you for reply but how do I get to disk management? I know I can use disk repair where do I go from there?? is that load drives?

 

[whs]

Press Start and type disk management. Then bring that up, make a snip of it and post it here.

 

[gold eagle]

I am so sorry maybe I am not understanding where start? where type??? my comp won't boot when I boot I get BOOTMGR is missing, when I do disk repair and load drives C: is not the right place C: seems to be as system restore seems like F: should be C: to me.

Maybe this will help some:

Diskpart says on list Volume...

Volume 0 ..... I ..... GRMCPXFRER ..... VDF ........ DVD-ROM.......3075 MB.... Healthy
Volume 1 ..... E ..... NTFS .......PARTITION.......100 MB ....Healthy
Volume 2 ..... C...... RAW ........PARTITION........ 0 B ... ..Healthy
Volume 3 ..... F ..... FACTORY_IMA..... NTFS .......PARTITION.......10 G ......Healthy
Volume 4 ..... D ..... SYSTEM............. NTFS........PARTITION......100 MB......Healthy
Volume 5 ..... G ..... OS .....................NTFS.......PARTITION.......584 BM......Healthy
Volume 6 ..... H ..... HP_RECOVERY ....NTFS.......PARTITION........11 GB.......Healthy

I will try tomorrow to get the picture of how my drives are seen in load drives with disk repair. thanks for your help.

 

[whs]

This is the kind of picture we are looking for:

 

[gold eagle]

Got it but....

Is not that inside windows system? where I cannot get tooo?? can you get to it through bios sys repair? over passing umm missing bootmanager?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Diskpart in post 8 in this thread shows your C partition as "RAW".

Not good.

As long as C is "RAW", I don't think you are going to boot Windows or be able to use Disk Management.

I assume this is an HP computer with one hard drive containing multiple partitions?

 

[gold eagle]

Not sure

Thanks you for your reply, as you can see I don't understand much about computers is a hard drive an OS? If it is one hard drive and there is no hope is ok I was just wondering if any thing could be done for it, you see I saw 2 local disks is that it? see I cannot tell, I know I made this happened by messing with diskpart forget about bootmanager missing...what I was looking for is how to put C: back to it's original place I will give you the picture I talk about tomorrow, but I know I moved them by going to diskpart and activating what I should not, felt like God or something activating stuff lol I don't know, my reasoning is if I try to do any thing to it like fixing boot from scratch it will not do it in right drive......is hard to explain C: in winRE when I load drives says in place of another letter you see it in System Restore not local disk......

Thank you so much for your reply I know is confusing but I will try to post picture tomorrow .

Problem solved

Thank you all for your time and care Solution:

Take disk out
Unplug your computer for about 1 hour.

This is what happened .............My husband's comp froze and gave it to me he had a usb overload thing... he kicked his front usb port my accident and 2 pins were touching each other................fixed.............I needed the disk according to me and the power cord........ today I was going to send that pict I was talking about, when I got to it was back in place so I don't know......

That may work for others hopefully....

Thank you to all again and whs.....I will try no to touch computers again, after I fix my raw C: lol .

Have a great day! and thanks seven forums.

I unplugged the second drive and took mem card....not card... stick out of it did not restore to factory settings, I may try tomorrow LOL... but when I did it found Home Premium but the location was unknown all this with repair disc of course in repair comp, I click on repair startup and there it was whole system back nothing lost, I plugged back the second one put mem card? no is not a card is a stick sorry. And every thing was just like I had it before. Seven Forums helped a lot to get here so one moooore time. Much thanks and keep up the good work.
