    Hello Everyone,

    Thanks for the help you are giving to resolve all these issues.

    I Have just bought an HP Laptop windows7 with 4 primary partitions as follows:
    1.system
    2. c:
    3. recovery
    4. tools

    I intend to dual boot so I have followed the method2 to set c: to logical partition.
    so as to be able to create a new extended partition (using partition wizard).
    unfortunately I am not able to start windows since i get an error message - No bootable device -- insertboot disk and press any key.
    I have changed the boot order back to tha hard drive but still no good.

    Please can any one let me know where i have gone wrong
    Thank you

    Hello there,

    I've recently got a HP Envy 6, and I'm trying to re-partition my disk to add some extra logical drives. I was trying to follow the same instructions to make C drive as Logical, however, in my machine C drive status is marked as System, and SYSTEM partition is marked as Active & Boot. So when I'm trying to change the C to logical drive, partition wizard is giving me a warning that C is System drive and changing this to logical will make it non-bootable. Can you please advise if it is safe to go ahead and make it logical or is there any other way to change system status.

    If I read your PW picture right, your 199MB system partition is the active partition. So you should be able to change C to logical.

    I suggest you try that. If the OS does not boot, you can always change it back - but that is unlikely to be necessary.

    Thanks for your quick reply mate. I can try changing that, but the problem is I don't have a bootable cd drive in case anything goes wrong to put it back to Primary. I am not able to make new one from the iso image because this laptop don't have an optical drive

    Let me first try to make a bootable USB drive.. Any suggestions? Partition Wizard allows creation of bootable disc/usb only in Pro edition..

    Thanks again.

    I don't think so. I never owned a Pro edition but I have made bootable CDs and USB sticks - although that was already last year. Maybe they changed the procedure.

    Finally I managed to create a Bootable USB using Universal USB Installer...
    But Again, after booting through USB, PW was unable to change the C drive to Logical due an NTFS error code 19
    Finally I went ahead and did through Windows 7, and on rebooting it, all worked perfectly :)

    Thanks again for your help...

    Very good. I am sorry you had so much trouble. I wonder where this error code 19 in PW came from. This error code usually pertains to configuration information in the registry.
