I've tried to run the commands again but the problem remains. when i run the attrib command it still says "file not found"
File is on E instead of C. Try to read and understand what I wrote!

Mark E active and reboot. Post back results.

Also make PQSERVICE primary instead of logical (using partition wizard). Otherwise partition isn't bootable if you ever want to use it. Don't assign a driver letter to it in windows!

Code:

i didn't assign that letter to PQSERVICE that's just how it is. I'll change its status though. Should I leave System Reserved as the active partition?

that will be solved later.

Mark system reserved active. Be sure it is! It is E just be sure it's E!

atrib -h -r -s e:\boot\bcd
del e:\boot\bcd

Did it exist? Gone now?

Totally confused. So "system reserved" is C?? Was it called C all the time as I would expect?

But system reserved is active now and called C... correct?

Do the following:
Code:
c:
cd  \boot
attrib  -s  -h  -r  bcd
del  bcd

All commands successfull?
attrib command can fail due to the fact file bcd is not there
del command can fail due to the fact file bcd is not there (so already deleted)
