Possible to covert a plain system part. copy to ISO and make bootable?

C and D are on SAME physical harddrive?
How did you try to switch boot from partition C to Part D where the Windows 7 is?

Yes, C and D are on the same (and only internal) harddrive.

I switched the boot by G-parted, it worked (to switch the boot) but did not boot, I think I got the message "OS missing". I have also now realized that even if I´d succeed in making an ISO out of the files on part D (with win7 and all the other program etc files that were on the original partition) and make the part D boot, it would work, but to make things work after making an ISO out of the files on part D, I´d have to "recover" it back to part C by using the partition recovery function of EaseUS.

You see sort of picture as this:


Both partitions are dark blue as seen in lower part of screenshot? Is the sequence in lower part C,D or D,C
Which partition is marked ACTIVE (D in screenshot above)?

On my disk management picture the C partion (with a working WIN XP system) is marked by a LIGHT blue frame, whereas the second (D) partition is marked by a DARK blue frame. Both C and D say it is error free, but it does not say Active in either, but probably the "system start" in my language means active?, whereas on the D it only says "system".

In winxp command prompt:

Code:

diskpart
list  disk    (How many disks are listed? Detach extern drives first!)
sel  disk  0
list  part
exit

How many partitions? What types? and tell me what is win7 and what's winxp (look at size)

Quite a few questions, I´ll have to go now for about two and a half hours, so I´ll try to make and move over a disk management screenshot from my wife´s PC when I`m back. On the disk management side on my Asus (under WIN XP) ,the C partition is on the left side and has also a green frame apart from the light blue one. In diskpart I get only 1 HD (marked zero), it´s the only one internal hd drive in my Asus.
