Kloppstock Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Wery depressive all this, i have reformatted my Maxtor drive which are a splitted 186 Gb, where 20 Gb is for C:/ to install windows, but for some reason that drive have adopted E:/ permanetley it seems..even after formatting :hairup: and guess what it havent switched letter with the drive within same partition (G:)no it have instead exchanged its C: with one of my complete unrelated harddrives WDC WD2500JB-00GVA (that have becomed C:) while keep crediting E: as systemstart drive :wacko This is a complete new motherboard to mei have contacted my friend who performed the BIOS setup for me..and he claims the settings havent changed since he applyd them,what have caused this entire problem looks to 98 % be myself when i switched volume letters in windows disk mananger on all my harddrives exept C:/..bud i didnt do this the wery first i did after i hade installed windows, i installed some probably important things before the switch, with my old motherboard i however was fully allowedto change drive letters, the only thing that could happend whas that certain installed applications could suffer, but im not sure my friend was 100 % on the bios settings just as i am, so its possible the solution is in there?heres the boot drive order to start with, then take that and compare this v.s my attached scheme i created for this post, and the second snapshot picture below here, and hopefully that brings situation clear, otherwise as me return questions1. Ch2 M. :Maxtor2. Ch0 M. :WDC WD2500JB OOGVA3. Ch0 S. :WDC WD2000JB OOGVA4. Ch3 M. :HitatchiAnd now for the crucial part, before this final mess hade occured i happend to take this snapshot yesterday? look closly on first snap, and then compare it with the second one that represent the right now (i have been forced to change some of the volume names yes, but look on the sizes to match them)Before and after just like shopping at Twins TV! Free Image Hosting by ImageBam.com"SYSTEMSTART" SHALL NOT EXIST ON E:/!!!! what is that and how do i get rid of it? have i been hijacked by hackers or can i exclude that?? i have atleast performed a Symantec online virus scan..and if found nothing,what could i have done accidentley to cause this myself?Finally heres link to my motherboard manualperhaps there is a explanation what a system start partition is and how to to create them..accidentley there? im wery crappy in understanding manuals so i have no chance myself, perhaps you can?http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=3243Styvmorsviol slår tillbaka.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
