If you had a name brand computer such as a Dell the extra drive letter on one drive is usually where the restore information is stored. Another words if you need to reinstall the operating system this is where the computer looks to do so. Also if you went into your system registry and made changes you first need to know that this is treading on deadly ground so be carefull when doing so. One thing you can try is to do a system restore through Windows. Click on the Start button - Programs - Accesories - System Tools - System Restore. Choose "Restore my computer to an earlier time". Pick a date before all your troubles started and click OK. It takes a few minutes for the computer do this action but it might be a quick fix. Don't worry all this does is revert back to an earlier state. All your files are safe. Any programs that were installed or changes made to the system will be undone or uninstalled.
