You're not going to get anyway without doing a clean install. ** first ensure that you have all pics/documents backed up somewhere**odollybird said:Hi, me again, so I have mounted a 128gb sd card into C drive but is doesn't actually show right see enclosed pics, also previously to doing this I did try to do a clean install of windows but would not let me due to not enough space.
When you do the clean install (32gb is enough space to do a clean install) you have to delete all the existing partitions. Can you remember that step? If you need full instructions please shout.

You need a usb stick of at least 8gb. It shouldn't be the c: drive either. Something odd going on. SD cards and USB sticks should come up as drives d:, e:, f: etc. ?!?!If you put your general location in your Profile, somebody here may be able to come and help you.1
