    Inverted? What does that mean? Putting Windows on the D drive or your data on the C drive?
    In this case, there aren't many solutions; you need a third hard drive where you'll put your data, then format D:, install Windows, then format C: and replace your data :)

    Where is the problem?
    The C:\ drive has always contained Windows and the D:\ drive has always contained the data

    Hello,

    You can't change the drive letter of partition C because Windows is on it.

    Why do you want to do that?

    In C:/ I normally have Program Files, and in D:/ I have Windows
    Here it's the opposite:
    When I want to install something, it asks to be installed in C:/

    No, normally, on C, you have Windows and Program Files.

    When the C partition is not large or is practically full, you can tell the software to install on the D partition and you will therefore have a second Program Files.

    It still poses a problem for me, because my computer wants to store everything on the C:/ drive, which is only 20GB (it creates my documents, downloads) whereas I would like it to only have Windows: so for example, when I open MW3, I get this message "Failed to write a file: the hard drive is probably full"
    Help!

    20GB for the system partition? Way too little.

    I don't know if we can resize the partition; there are risks involved.

    At worst, you can do a clean reinstall of Windows along with everything that goes with it.
