Questions:
1) Does the wrong drive letter designation matter?
2) If it does then how do I change it?
Thanks in advance.

No other drives, virtual or physical appear. I haven't tried to change it via safe mode. But I will give that a try and report back.

Hopefully, shuffling the pack will do
Click start, my computer, right click E, click explore
If you see Windows, programme files and documents and settings, that's fine
Right click C, click explore
Post what it has for that
So, in DOS\Devices, right click C and rename to Z
Right click E and rename to C
Reboot
Look in My Computer

Thanks.
