After building a PC using drives ffrom my previous system I had to ditch my E: drive due to limited SATA power subbly. Programs on and reference to E: were obviously broken. To an extend where I resorted to the subst command to be able to reinstall stoftware taht had previously been installed in E. Now, how do I get sid of the dublication of my C drive?

I found this question on the same topic but for Win7. It did not work stating that E: is an invalid argument.

What do I do now?

  • First of all, are you SURE there is still an E:?? If you are, did you try rebooting? subst doesn't persist between boots. – Señor CMasMas May 22 '19 at 17:00
  • As a computing science student, I feel emberassed not to think of the good old "turn it off and on again" myself. Did the trick... – Tharrry May 22 '19 at 17:11
  • Should I answer my question myself or is it trivial enough to be worth deleting? – Tharrry May 22 '19 at 17:12

The SUBST command doesn't persist between boots, so remove the E: virtual drive by turning the computer off and turning it on again.
