    D Drive became C Drive, C became OS: F


    Hi,


    After an update and not using my laptop for a week, after powering on my laptop, my profile was completely different, my wallpaper, profile name, and all my on screen apps were gone. I checked and my Downloads, desktop, pictures, music, videos and documents file and it has been emptied. But i realised my D drive is not a my C drive and my C drive became OSF:. Fortunately, all my stuff in those drives is still there.


    Anyone can help me out?


    Is there anything else i can do or should do?

    :)

    No C: but D: drive has all the data

    Hi Austin,

    To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
    as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

    Regards.

    Change "D" drive to "C" drive.

    How do I copy all files on my "C" drive onto my current "D" drive (including bootup files and Windows 10), then change my "D" drive to "C" drive and my my old "C" drive to "D" drive?

    D Drive became C Drive, C became OS: F

    C: and D: drives

    I was able to free up the D drive by deleting the Windows 8 from the D drive and creating a restore point on the C drive. The D drive is now free. Thank you for the quick reply.
