Boot partition deleted
Hi, my computer was setup with multi-boot: window xp and linux. so there are
three partitions in my computer, one for boot, one for linux and one for window xp. one day, from window xp, I accidently deleted boot partition and linux partition; so the computer won't boot now. I don't care about the linux system. How do I fix the boot so I can use the windown xp again? I did xp recover, and I am be able to get into c:\window directory; I tried fixboot, but it cannot find the boot partition. what I should do to just bring back the window xp? Thanks |

Boot partition deleted
in addition to fixboot
run a chkdsk, then a fixmbr and then bootcfg /rebuild the bootcfg will scan your drives for any o.s.'s, then for building the boot menu with bootcfg, it will ask you for a line number and then a name/description you want for that line. but whatever you input, you will have the opportunity to later rewrite the boot.ini via the desktop. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces "BJing" wrote in message ...

Thanks You should be able to recreate your boot partition with a 3rd party utility such as partition magic |
