  1. Change to a new c drive


    I have been running on a old 250gb hard drive for the past couple months and have recently purchased a new hard drive and some ssd’s i would like to transfer my files from my old hard drive to my new one and make my new hard drive the default drive for my computer. I have tried copying all my files to the new drive but some files will not copy over.

    :)

    Hi Viva,

    If you recently made some changes on your machine and needs to access
    C: drive
    , you can do it by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + E.
    • On the left pane, click This PC. It will show you list of different folders. For
      C: drive, it may look like this.

    Change to a new c drive

    Stuck in Automatic Repair = inadvertently changed C: drive path?

    @zbook- what I'm suggesting should resurrect the PC, provided what's left on the "C:" is at all viable - the clean install is just a step to that. Saves a lot of technical bits and time on our part.
