I am using a regular system, nothing virtual, my C drive is not mapped which I see in some forums. Environment path not set?
I started a tutorial to learn Powershell, and the first thing I tried to execute was very simple:
PS C:\Users\user> get-help get
Error I receive:
get-help : Cannot find drive. A drive with the name '.C' does not exist. At line:1 char:1 + get-help get + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (.C:String) [Get-Help], DriveNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHelpCommand
System:
Windows7, Powershell 4.0, .NET 4.5

So it seems that I had a bug in my Environment Variables, Path. Here is the screen shot of what I changed.
After trying to reboot and fail. Uninstalled .NET, reinstalled .NET, reinstalled a Powershell version and still fail. I ended up checking my Environment Variables. I had changed them a few years ago per a "fix" for JUNIT testing in Java programming.
