Windows 10: Unable to install Windows due to 2 serperate volumes being marked as C

Let me give you some background:

I have two 1 TB internal hard disks.

On Disk 0 there is nothing but data, but on Disk 1 my Windows OS use to reside, until a horrible malware attack removed all my program files and Windows folders. I had no disk backup.

This is the layout of my 2 disks:

Disk 0 :

• One large data partition. No OS.

Disk 1:

• 1 Partition for Windows 10 in UEFI mode
  1 partition for data
  1 partition for data.

The partition that housed the OS was the one effected.

Now all I want to do is just install Windows back to my system partition. Without performing a clean on my HDD.

I have tried everything like copying the installation media contents of a separate 9 GB partition and then starting the installation.

I keep getting the following error:





Can someone explain to me how on earth can there be 2 mount points with the same name as C ?

This is causing problems like :









This is what I believe the root of the problem is. Please note that I had to create my USB Installation media from Linux, as I don't have a CD Drive or another Windows machine.

Why is the Microsoft installer so buggy ?

How can I just install Windows without removing other partitions ?

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
