1178935 2011-02-16 09:07:00 You need to set the partition as Bootable. Firing up a linux Live CD and using cfdisk, you'll be able to do that in a flash, if that's what you're wanting to accomplish? Chilling_Silence (9)

1178939 2011-02-16 11:21:00 No offense intended or anything but as a fact you will get a lot more help if you try to spell properly. The current state of your posts are giving me a headache.

If I remember right there is some option to mark partitions as active in Disk Management?
