... I'm surprised no one has mentioned this.

... You'd just have to be careful to check drive letters because the temporary OS established by an installation disk will use whatever drive letters it feels like for your drives.

Are you referring to your post #16?

That program may do the same thing as the Advanced Recovery Environment as far as reassigning drive letters but I do not believe it has the same authority as the built in Advanced Recovery Environment unless it is part of it.

In that post, the words "Advanced Recovery Environment" did not come up, so I missed drive letters being reassigned.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Just want to add here, if you have a file that is doing this and having these symptoms, sometimes a simple disk check at boot will fix the issue.

@Andrew129260 That's why my original post states "Checkdisk tells me, there are no errors on this drive"
Thanks for trying to help.

sorry, missed that
