    Relocation gone wrong


    Hey! So I relocated my default library folders on my drive D: so that my SSD wont get filled. I didn’t made any folder on drive D before relocating. so i move it again to drive C: WITHOUT making new folder again. then everything went downhill, they all got renamed to one folder name “Camera Roll” and everytime I store something to a folder, it does the same to the other same named folder. also when I do things on my desktop, it appeared on the same renamed “Camera Roll” folders. I just bought my laptop, it is very new.


    How do i rename them to their corresponding folders again? Or is ther any way I can just restore it again as like brand new? i wanted to try to system restore it but it is OFF when i checked.

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Windows 10 - Relocate the Users folder Part 2 -Creating Account Issue


    I decided to leave your suggestion as a last resort (before re-installation). I have my AppData folder ~ 15 GB and also my user profile is placed on the bad sectors of the drive. It took me about 5 mins to login into my desktop with a lot of disk grinding. Anyway, I tried Clonezilla in a "rescue" mode (becasue of unreadable sectors) to clone my drive. I replaced the drive with the clone and It somehow worked quite well. I am able to login and within 2 secs I get usable desktop; even Cortana suddenly came alive again and my menu shows up full. I may still have to fix some minor glitches in my profile or AppData. But everything works well and my user accounts and Program Files (that allow themselves to be installed in any locations) sit happily on the second drive.
    Thank you Kari
