Then you decided to try and snap back with an abrasive response.
Interesting for someone asking for help.

To answer your original question, you really need to reinstall the OS from
scratch without whatever external (or internal) removable media caused it to
install on the E:\ drive in the first place. There are many hits on Google
for people with this issue and a few suggestions as to how you could turn
E:\ into C:\, but anyone here with experience will tell you the only sure
way to repair things is to reinstall with the offending device unhooked.
You can refer to this article for a complete explanation of what has
occurred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326683

For your second question about syntax of the SUBST command - know that
windows command lines are USUALLY not case sensitive. The command line
given to you was:

subst c: E:\

It could have been:

SuBsT c: e:\

You can also type in:

subst /?

and get more information on the command as well as looking in this file (for
you anyway):

e:\WINDOWS\Help\ntcmds.chm

Or this web page:

As for your command for me to "su" (in your case, I know it is not raising
my security level) - welcome to the wonderful world of the Internet and
Public newsgroups - where your opinion is all you have.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.
