I’ve been having problems with my Gateway desktop recently. I decided to do a system restore (in safe-mode), and the next thing I knew, the drive letter had been changed from C: to D:.
I can’t do another system restore because the Repair PC menu only shows two options: Startup Repair and Factory Settings. I also can’t log into any accounts because they’re not listed, even in safe-mode (probably because they’re on a different drive letter). It’s now asking for a username and password that has never been created.
Is there a way to change the drive letter back without having to log in to an account?
C:
is the virtual drive for the PE OS and your regular drive isX:
by default). But in safe-mode, it should not be changing drive letters at all; the system drive should appear asC:
as normal. You said you had some problems before using system restore; perhaps something you used to try to fix it changed the drive letter but didn’t change it back. Had you done anything else that before the system restore?
