Recover Vista [resolved]


Recommended Posts

So yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to mess with some of my partitions, and move some around. Namely, I moved my vista partition and it didn't really appreciate that. At first it wouldn't boot, but I popped in my disk and selected "Repair my computer." This made Vista bootable, and I was able to log in under my name. However, my personal profile could bot be loaded, and I had to manually start explorer.exe. I can't open any files, it just tells me they don't exist (even if I click directly on them). The same goes for running any application, such as IE. I was hoping to do a repair install, but in Vista that has to be done once logged in--but I can't get the cd to run. Even if I navigate to my CD in the drive, and click setup.exe, I'm told it doesn't exist. My C:\ drive has also been changed to V:\.

I would really like to avoid killing it, but it looks like that's where I'm headed.

Thanks guys,

Matt

edit: I did a quick google search on the issue and found

"Turns out the reason it was all broken was because the drive letters were in fact switched up. Switching the boot drive back to C fixed everything."

Any ideas on how I can do this?
