Windows Update Reassigns Drive letters
I have wasted 6 days trying to install Windows Home Premium x32 on a Sony Vaio VGN F290 Laptop with 2Gigs of RAM using a new 500 gig WD SATA Hard drive. Everything installs perfectly but when windows installs it's updates in won't reboot and goes to the repair screen. I've gone to the DOS screen and discovered there are now X:, D:, and C: drives with windows on the D drive. These are all on one Hard drive with no other drives attached. Before the updates everything is on the C drive. I've tried reinstalling Windows several times and yes I have all the latest Sony drivers installed and before doing any updates everything works perfectly including going on the internet and restarting the computer. The repair scenarios don't work and system restore has no effect. Any ideas?
