How to troubleshoot Windows Vista down-letter disorder

Q: The recent inability to tolerate the incomplete Chinese version of the so-called "Windows Vista" and then reinstall the English version, but after the installation found a strange problem is to enter Windows Vista system error will vista disk (should be F disk) as a C disk, And the original C disk has become a D disk, the rest of the letter has been back to the letters, someone know the reasons and solutions?

A: This is Microsoft's old problem. Microsoft's Windows CD-ROM has always been in its own way to verify the hard disk partition, but this time vista more overbearing. When you start the installation from the CD, you forcibly change the disk character of the partition it is installed to to C, and the following other letter is arranged in accordance with the previous Microsoft Windows installation practices.

Vista disk is confused, had to adjust to come, and then install one more time. The method is to restore the deranged disk character to the previous appearance in Vista, for example, in the previous case, it should be restored to: C:-> Z:-> F:, D:-> C:, and then restart Vista, of course, again when the disk character is restored, will prompt a lot of errors in the place, And neither Explorer nor computer can browse. You can only use the "win+r" shortcut key to start the "Run" box to confirm that the letter has been restored to the original normal state. Then just type your Vista installation CD (or Vista installation ISO virtual CD-ROM) in the existing Vista run box Setup.exe, such as your CD drive letter x:, put the installation CD in, and enter X:\ in the run Setup.exe Run Vista installation. This directly in the normal Vista upgrade or a new custom installation, because the letter is normal, installation of the CD-ROM installation program recognition will not be mistaken and do not make a claim. Of course, if some hardware is not standard, incompatible, may upgrade installation can not go on. It's a new installation, and Old Vista will be automatically backed up by the installer to a windows.old directory. Only you must be in this existing vista under the installation Ah, or from the CD-ROM drive boot installed, the letter will still be chaotic. Because your existing Vista drive is already tuned, the installer will not refer to the correct letter when you do an upgrade or a new installation under it. But it's annoying enough, even if it was installed two times, the letter is correct, but the installation of the disc on the partition letter recognition is still a big problem.

For example, your system is broken, you want to use Vista installation CD to repair, Vista installation CD in the system recovery will still be very good to do the claim to the letter incorrectly, with you from the CD-ROM when you start installation of the disk character disorder is a truth.
