Partitioned drive and somehow it removed the boot file
I tried the repair fron 7 dvd and no luck. I also tried this
The DISKPART program recognizes a set of commands.
Most of the ones of interest to you were given in another post.
· type DiskPart, Enter key
· type List disk, Enter key
note the numeral of the disk you want to clean
for example purposes, I’ll be using the numeral 0
· type Select disk 0, Enter key
· type Detail disk, Enter key
this info will let you know if you selected correctly
· type Select Partition 1, Enter key
this selects the Win 7 partition
· type Active, Enter key
this declares the partition as the boot partition
· type EXIT, Enter key (this exits DiskPart)
· type EXIT, Enter key (this gets you back where you were)
and this came up
virtual disk service error: the specific partition type is not valid for this operation
I tried gparted and nothing will let me make my main drive the active boot one again.
Do I have to take into the shop and have them fix it since they would have more options or is it something I can fix? I need a fix fast.
Is there a way for me to get the main drive which is partitioned into 2 cloned and then just reformat my whole drive and then clone the files back onto the drive? I'm just fishinbg here.
?
Is there a win 7 live disk that can be used like the knoppix live?
