I had Windows 7 installed on an old HDD, which contained my C:\ drive.
Perhaps foolishly (?), when I got a new SSD I first formatted it using the Windows Disk Management tool and assigned it the drive letter S:\.
This could well be where I went wrong. At this point I've been through all the business of cloning my old partition to the SSD, restoring/fixing the MBR, and even getting Windows to boot from the SSD. The only problem now is that it recognizes the drive as S:\ rather than C:\ (so effectively there is no C:\ drive), which seems to really be screwing Windows up.
I tried using diskpart.exe to assign the letter C:\ to the drive, but I get the following error (in a popup window):
S:\Windows\system32\diskpart.exe
The specified path does not exist.
This in spite of the fact that I am trying to execute diskpart.exe from that very path!
I could be wrong, of course; but I highly suspect that a missing C:\ drive is the root cause of this. I just want to change the letter of my S:\ drive to C:. Is this possible, perhaps using some external tool that I can boot into?
