Go to Microsoft Fixit:

http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/

Take a look around, there should be a Fixit for Windows Update under Windows.

I can't give you a specific link because it's operating system specific.

OK, I messed up...Have you tried this:

Open the Start menu. Type "SystemPropertiesProtection.exe" in the "Start Search" field. Press "Enter."

Look under the "Available Disks" section. Uncheck the box of the duplicate C: drive.

Place a check by the C: drive with the Windows logo. Click "Apply" and click "OK."
