You were lucky to get ubuntu to install - can't get mint to install atm - oh well.

What partition manager ?

If you used a linux one - you may have an issue with the filesystem .

You also may have deleted the active partition.

Probably best to boot PW free cd .

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.


Mark windows partition active.

Run disk check option.

Then boot windows repair cd - try running startup repair 2 or 3 times.

If still no go - post back .

hi, i used minitool partition wizard professional on windows 7. alll i did was merging a c drive (all my files ) and an empty drive. and it says it told me to reboot so i did. and it was working and it says something error. so i looked it up on google and what i did was on command prompt , i typed bootrec.exe/ fixmbr and fixboot and rebuild Bcd. and now its not even working anymore... my dad's works are in the computer and if it doesnt work im doomed.... what should i do?

Boot partition wizard again - make sure the partition is NTFS

See if you can mark the windows partition active - rt click it select Modify>Set Active, then click the Apply button.

Then rt click windows partition and select check file system.

After that boot windows 7 repair cd and run startup repair - it might take up to 3 runs.

It is also worth updating the mbr with partition wizard:

Rt click the Disk itself and select rebuild mbr.

I don't think you can make a bootable flash from the free version of partition wizard.

It is quite easy this way tho:

1. download the partition wizard .iso - that is the one at the boot cd link.

2. Use another program to burn the .iso to flash drive.

There is one here - it is a trial version , but is fully functional for 30 days - gBurner - A powerful CD, DVD and BD burning software

You just need to d/l the program - you don't need the virtual drive.

Remember you are marking the WIn7 partition Active. If it's a Logical partition you have to convert it to Primary first to mark Active.

Then click on the HD # to highlight it, from Disk tab select Rebuild MBR, Apply steps. Reboot to see if it starts.

This may preclude the need to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots from your Win7 DVD or Repair CD.

Si, Curious: what is the File System Check for? Maybe I should add it in these cases? Does it need to be run on all partitions to be complete, or just Win7?

ok here is another issue.. i pressed f12 on the boot screen in order to boot from my USB, and it is not doing anything. it just froze in that screen, so i turned it off and tried with my windows 7 CD and it is frozen just like my USB! so i cant boot from the CD or USB. it worked like 30 minutes ago when i tried!?!

file system check is just a precaution- always worth a go after merging.

Don't put brackets on the number. Type this:

Sel dis 0 (if 0 is the Win7 HD)
List part
Sel part # (replace # with the # of the 100mb System Reserved partition or Win7 partition)
Active
exit

Now go to second DVD screen to choose Repair my Computer, run Startup Repair x3.

Which partition did you mark Active? How did you determine it is the correct one?

What happens before you click Startup Repair? Does it find an installation to repair when you boot into Repair My Computer? Try booting in again to see.

there was a disk 0 and disk 1. Disk 0 said it had 150 GB, and disk 1 said it had about 3 MB. so i guessed that disk 1 has more space, so it must be the one i should make it active.
