Dad: "I don't have my wallpaper anymore on my desktop !"
Me: "Ok, what's in C:\User...\Pictures" ?
Dad: "I don't have C:, I juste have D:"
Me: "WTF ? You don't have a C:\Windows folder ?"
Dad: "No, I just have a D:\ drive. Windows is installed on D"
How th fuck did he managed to not have a C drive ????
It's possible he did have a C drive and just wasn't looking correctly
But it is possible to install Windows on non-c drives, It just isn't standard. The main reason is because you want the operating system to be on a different drive to the files. I have Windows installed on C but there's absolutely nothing else on C just Windows everything else is on the E drive, but there's absolutely no reason you couldn't reverse that it's just you'd have to start off with Windows on C, then remap D to not the disk, then installed Windows on D, set D to be the boot drive, And then finally uninstall it from C.
It's unlikely that you would do all that by accident. Especially because setting anything other than C to be the boot drive usually requires changing the BIOS. You can't do it from within windows because then you end up with a "the call is coming from inside the house" situation.
At least he understands that windows is installed, and on that drive.
It happens. You should have just told him to go to the D: drive if its the only one
