Hey Enderman, did you know that drive letters can be not letters? Like $:\, ∆:\, or any Unicode character. You can make a video on this! Most programs don't know about this, so they don't show the hidden drives and they don't create them. But you can easily create them with subst or mountvol!

I recently had something happen to me in Windows 7 like this, with my boot drive letter being changed from C:/ to D:/ (I eventually figured out). Had identical problems with trying to boot and it hanging. This happened a few months ago and happened while I was doing AMD Radeon complete removal so I could install an older version. After the removal I rebooted to this headache. Instead of working on it longer I just bought an SSD and did a manual transfer of files, along with a fresh Win7 OS install.

@NorbiPeti 2 года назад

I once swapped a HDD (with Windows installed) with an SSD. In theory it should've been easy (just copy the partitions bit by bit), except the SSD was smaller so I only copied one partition. Windows also had a drive letter assigned to the new one already which might have been a problem. Either way, I spent a couple hours editing the registry so that Windows knows where to boot from, but it worked in the end.

@SKCro. 9 месяцев назад

Why not just reinstall Windows on that drive? It would have been easier and would have given you a clean slate. Sure, it's kind of a hassle to set everything up again, but it also means any crust or weirdness from the old installation ("Windows rot") doesn't carry over.

once i tried to put windows on a: partition (i dont have any floppy drives). i couldn't, i was hit by errors. so i made a partition and tried to assign it on a: but i couldn't, because "it was too big". then i made it about 2gb and it worked, but the read / write was so slow, and felt like windows tried to "emulate" floppy behavior on that drive. b: worked without any issues, tho. important question, tho: what happens if you consume all of the 32 partition letters? how does windows behave in that case?
