I removed your name and phone number - you shouldn't do that. :)
Ok. first there is absolutely nothing in the program at all that can change the boot drive.
If you are in windows It's hard to say why windows did this - but it did it prob because of the image you made OR that the original system had a x: backup partition.
but this is the fix

If you are in the dos window from the rovery enviromen t - the dribve letter assigment may be normal.
How are you getting to the dos window?
Trizmegistus:
I cant get in to the registry. I get to the command prompt using F12, instead of F2. F12 comes up with Bios flass harddrive password a couple of other options, one of them is diagnostics, i hit diagnostics, and pause press advanced and then troubleshoot, and one of the options is command prompt. So i cant even acces windows. DOS is my only option, Im not real sure how to rename the X: drive back to C: when the C drive already exists, and the X drive info is really on the c: drive. My image disk is good i tried it on my old laptop. But i cannot boot with the image drive on my R6. Thank you
