When I go to the Command Prompt an type CD B: drive B is not found, Do I need to uninstall windows 10 and all the drivers or am I missing something stupid. When C Drive first crashed I booted the the PC and with a windows 8 disk and at the command prompt Drive C Empty and Drive B: had the complete directory.

In Disk Managemrnt, runs diskmgmt.msc, locate your missing drive and right click on the partition and try assigning it a letter.
A and B normally are reserved for Floppy drives and probably blocked w10 from automatically assigning the old drive letter to it.
