| 819063 | 2009-10-10 11:27:00 | I accidentally made my OS (win7) drive logical and now it won't boot the OS without the other drive with XP. How do i unconvert back to primary partition without formatting or reinstalling the OS. Can you use Acronis Disk Director or Partition Magic for this? iforce.co.nz (www.iforce.co.nz) |

Then change to primary partition and see if the files are still there. Cheers :banana |

| 819067 | 2009-10-11 02:40:00 | Making the drive primary partition still didn't make it bootable by itself. So i formatted the drive unplugged the other drive with XP, and starting installing Win7. I got up to the stage where it restarts in 10 seconds. System restarts and the installation setup starts over again when i have the USB . If i remove the USB with the OS i get a string of msgs like try hd1, try hd2, try hd3, sometimes i get no msg and just a flashing "_". What am i doing wrong??? |
