If that's the case, I think the only possible fix is to boot off the XP disc, and use the repair console. FixMBR I think is the command to fix the master boot record, however be aware that depending on how corrupt it is, it could wipe the partition.
That's only a thought though, and could be WAY off base  |
I tried to load the repair console off the xp disc I have, I couldn't get into it though, I think bcz using a stripped down version of xp, so I just went ahead and reformatted the partition, I figured that would be less of a headache.
Problem now though is it goes straight into xp, and doesn't recognize the vista partition, very frustrating, it worked fine when I first set it up. I'm wondering if it's the version of xp I'm using, someone stripped it down and tweaked it, it looks kinda like NT but it's xp pro and it's extremely fast. I can't get it to install setpoint though, so I'm going to try installing a different version (corporate) probably.
Could that be what's causing my other partition not to be recognized? (I'm sure I formatted the right partition)
thanks
