still wont work. dont know whats the problem is/

does this have to do with how i reformat the pc? cause when we reformat the pc the Local Disk C change its name to Local Disk D; then the Local disk D; Change to disk C: dont know what happened

With all due respect to the professional folks here I really think that post up there needs some explanation. This is mighty weird under any circumstances. Changing partition size, or adding a partition I am familiar with, but I'm not understanding what is meant here by "reformating" the PC. What exactly was "reformatted" and when? And the "name changing" business needs explanation.

In other words, I think y'all should forget about the updates for now and refocus attention on some sort of system screwup on a not so small scale. I'd also recommend getting personal data, documents, pictures, etc. stored onto a memory stick or something before doing anything else, as I smell trouble right around the corner. Of course, you've probably already done that, but a reminder is standard when getting into such troubleshooting.

when he reformat the pc then comes the boot screen. then theres C: D:(System Drive C:) E:(D:) then after that he formated the D: then after it format. it proceed to installation but it got an error. so "I said you should also format the C: Drive" then he format it and the installation was success ful . thats all

@ManyQs: see the answer? That's what I expected in terms of readability and comprehensibility.  ;D

Though personally I tend to agree to you and begin to think that a complete new installation would probably be the best way to solve all problems here, I would suggest to let essexboy have another look and final say on this.  8)



@ladygaga: please be patient a little more until essexboy comes back to you. Thanks.  ;)

The solution to this would be to reformat C and install a fresh version of windows on that drive.  You will still have access to D to copy your data - There is a step by step guide here http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/173729-reformat-and-install-of-windows/

When you get to the drive selection part ensure that drive C is selected

Good thought Bob as if C was reduced to lower than windows requires it would automatically go to D
