549665 2007-05-14 03:25:00 Well. It started with me being stupid and wanting to change my sys drive letter from F: to C: so i did partitation magic and it did it, then i restarted my computer... and of course my computer wouldn't boot. i have no idea what to do now. i can't even do a repair install of win xp off the disk..

549666 2007-05-14 05:09:00 Well u may have no choice but to reformat and reinstall it.

Is XP (the restore disk) on a partition, or have u got the XP CD?

Yep. I have to agree. What did you think would happen?

You could try changing it back but XP can be rather stubborn with these sort of changes.

549669 2007-05-14 07:27:00 This happened to me once, what i did is take that HDD out and put it into another computer running xp. Boot from the working HDD and windows will detect the error in the second HDD and should fix it :) :) Adamnz (12260)
