Help! my recovery drive and os drive have switched places.

I recently had to reboot my dell inspiron 530 desktop computer, when
I did my OS drive C and my recovery drive D changed places, by that I mean that each is where the other should be and C is now the size of the recovery drive and D is the size of C. And my recovery drive is too full.

Hi -

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. Initially, Vista System Restore help - try it and see -
START | type rstrui | choose a restore point prior to the drives switching

Regards. . .
