Solve : HP m9000 crashed,used recovery disk, found secondary drive relabeled as c: Help!?

Answer»

I had a massive crash on my desk to HP m9000. I downloaded a recovery disk only to find that a secondary hard drive had been renamed to c:. There appears to still be a boot drive listed but does not do anything. How can I rename the seondary drive back to e: where it belongs? Has C: drive been damaged beyond recovery
I am running AVG free virus protection but the e-mail scanning quit a couple days before the crask. HELP!!!!Where did this recovery CD get DLoaded from ? ?The recovery file was downloaded from NeoSmart Technologies.Enter BIOS, and see how many drives are listed there.I don't know about BIOS. The recovery disk gives me a look at the drive structure. It shows a C drive which was my E drive and a X drive which I think was the old D drive. Using this feature let me copy and save all on the old E drive. I can get to the ommand level. Is it possble to reidentify the now C drive back to its original E drive and maybe that will unover the old C drive? I don't think the old C drive is dead brcause I can still see the old D which is now labeled X drive.How was this setup prior to this ? ?
Be specific.

A crash should NOT jumble drive assignments....what have you done so far ? ?The computer was as sold by HP with a 300G C drive with a small partician as drive D and a secondary 300 g drive as drive E. I had made no modifications from s delivered. I am going to disonnect the seonary drive and see what happens.

Be specific.
I DISCONNECTED the old C drive and nothing changed. I still had what looked like the old partition with the boot info labeled X drive. I then disconnected the secondary drive and the only drive found was the x drive. Reonnected all and back to crashed STATE.
