Hi, I have quite an urgent problem, you see I accidentaly
marked one of my partitions as active in Diskmanagement,
and as a result of that I can't start Windows since it
boots from the wrong disk - its changed C: to E: and vice-
verse (I had Windows installed on C:). I've tried to
choose the Repair-function on the Windows-cd but when I
run Diskpart.exe I can't activate the old drive. It seems
to be another version on the CD than after installation,
so I can't just type: select (n) and then activate, I can
only choose between delete the partitions or add a new
one.
I would really need some help here since I don't want to
delete all partitions and re-install Windows, because I
have some important things saved on them.

Regards,

Spiros
