    Delete Win XP partition, cant access Win 7 anymore


    Hi,

    Yesterday i wanted to remove my Win XP partition from my HD. I did it using Easeus partition manager boot cd. I deleted the win XP partition, and left it doing it all night long.

    Today i cant start my Windows 7 installation. I already tried to repair the MBR with Win 7 installation disk but it didnt helped.

    It says to select proper media drive to boot bla bla bla..

    Any idea how i can get back to my Win 7 installation? Im waiting for help,
    thanks and sorry for my bad english

    Have you tried booting from the Windows 7 DVD and doing a Startup repair?

    Hi,

    You need to boot the Easeus again and make sure the 7 partition is marked Active.

    Then run startup repair from the 7 dvd 3 times.

    Try booting to the Install DVD.
    Go to the repair option or try hitting Shift+F10 to open a command window. Go to the root directory C: and type:

    dir /A

    Look for a folder called "Boot" and a file called "bootmgr".

    If they are not there, we will need to replace them. If they are there, the startup repair should see the Windows 7 install and fix it. Make sure you are not using the restore from image for the startup repair option.

    Tried to do that, but on the command windows im not able to change my path to C:\, im always at X:\ wich is the Win 7 DVD path.

    Thanks for the help so far.
