Good day.

I was busy moving hard drive in and out of my pc(while it was off of course) and somehow when i switched on the following happened :
The load up screen said "preparing your desktop" , as of i have just formatted, but i have not. My drive letter changed from C to G and C was now my second hard drive(without windows)and when i got on my desktop is was like every thing was reseted, i had no icons etc, but when i go to my hard drive everything is still there, all the programs in program files folder, even in i go to users, my profile is there and all my files, but if i go for instance to my docs or from the start menu the adress above reads from Default , and not from my user?

shut down, disconnect the data cable from your second drive (which you say is now c:) and power on the pc again. this should force the pc to reassign your first drive as the boot (c:) drive.
Then you can shutdown and reattach the second drive.
That should fix the problem.
