C:\ Drive Problem

system · September 6, 2003, 5:42am

Hi, a few weeks ago, my C:\ Drive on My Computer had a blank icon. Then I clicked on it and it it asked what to associate it with.

What program am I supposed to associate the C:\ drive with? I tried Explorer and that is not right (it makes things VERY annoying)

And how do I fix the blank icon? I tried going to Tools - Folder Options - File Types but that does not affect anything.

Some people thought this was caused by the Fixblast worm. But I even ran two worm patches, and my updated virus scanner, and that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Simple fix:

Reformat and reinstall.

He probably has a store bought computer, and thus doesn’t have any of the drivers that came with the computer, so it’s probably not as simple as reformat and reinstall.

Yeah, reformatting is real simple. That’s why it’s a last resort. Hell, you don’t even have to reformat. Just install windows over windows.

Or better yet.

Install Linux :D.

Meh, Wert didn’t mention it, so the thread felt somehow… Empty.

Yes, it does have proper drivers. I reformatted it a while ago. I tried Linux befpre, too confusing for me
