Tried to extend partition, now freezing during boot
I used software called "Partition Wizard" to extend my Windows 7 partition, and now it won't boot. It freezes at a screen that says "Windows is loading files...", shortly after the white progress bar spanning the bottom of the screen fills up.
Partition Wizard had me restart my computer to complete the partition extension, since I was extending my boot partition. Everything looked like it was going fine, but when I came back it was frozen at the screen that I described above (assuming after an automatic reboot upon completion of the partition extension). I did I hard reboot by the power button, and it froze again at the same screen.
I'm running Windows 7 on an iMac so I have Snow Leopard on another partition. I'm still able to boot from that, so maybe I can run a program from there that will fix the partition.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
