Solved How to change the drive letter in a dual boot computer

I would like to make an announcement. The DVD drive is experiencing problems.I wanted to make an ISO from a disc but it is stuck at a point of 740.000 sectors almost.I will try other ones and see. Do you have any recommendations (virtualization) to use these VMs?

Obviously you didn't follow Clean Reinstall Windows 7
as it says clearly to delete all partitions during the booted install. You have two old boot partitions left empty and didn't delete anything from what I can tell. This was the point of having the bootable installer.

I'd do it over and this time actually follow the steps in Clean Reinstall Windows 7
 
:info: I don't want to delete everything I have to install 7. I don't have an 100 GB external drive to save files,that's why I want to dual boot.

You need to have your data backed up at all times anyway because the hard drive can fail at any moment.

How is it functioning now?
 
How? I don't have something big in capacity to use it as a recovery tool. I need 100 GB at least,because I have a lot of ISOs (copies in case a DVD is not working).
By the way,the hard drive is very well.It has an index of 6,9.

Then it's at your own risk because files that are not backed up are not worth much.

Is the Dual Boot working correctly now? Anything else?
 
Yes,it's working well. If I make the language exception,it's excellent

I made the Greek DVD and it's only BIOS bootable,not UEFI bootable.

For anyone who wants the answer: Boot from the DVD and select the other partition you created or shrank. For example,if you have Windows 8 and want to install 7 or 2008 R2 in another partition,you will see the 7 or '08 R2 partition in 8 and vice versa.I hope that this advice has been of some help.
