update not installing because of incorrect drive letter

updates download but all fail to install, Dell suggest it is because my
internal drive is now I: and not C: due to an error that they created on a
previous reformat and are now insisiting that the only way is to back up my
500gb hd and reformat and reinstall but this time deactivating the usb
controller so that it doesnt allocate the early drive letters to my multi
card reader.I am appalled at this prospect of another back up and format isnt
there any way to tell the 77 outstanding updates downloaded on my machine
where to go ??? All my games install fine on the I: drive without prompting
why not xp ?

disconnect your multi card reader then restart click start,control
panel,performance and maintenance,admin tools,computer management,disc
management,then click on the disc listed as I: and change it to C:
then restart your computer. after you restart your hard drive should
be listed a the C: drive then shut down your computer and reconnect
the multi card reader and everything should be fine
