Minitool Partition Wizard killed my Windows
Hi!
I just tried the tool mentioned above to resize my partitions.
I'm running W7x64 on a SATA drive and XP on IDE, so I can startup both depending on which disk I set as boot disk in my BIOS.
So far things were running fine but ever since I tried to resize my Win7 partition to have more room for my storage partition (same physical drive), my Win7 keeps rebooting.
I see the normal boot screen and after a while, the PC restarts.
I tried the repair console to no avail - the assistant claims it couldn't restore anything, it doesn't even show me any restore points (which I know do exist).
The actual Win7 partition seems OK though as I can access most folders when I boot in XP.
What somehow puzzles me is the drive layout.
It says
D: System Storage: Active: Primary
E: Win 7: None: Primary
G: Storage: None: Primary
Plus my XP partition which works fine.
I tried to set E active but it was set to status None automatically after the next unsuccessul reboot.
But shouldn't D and E drive letters be the other way around?
Or even worse, shouldn't Win be E, Storage F and System Storage G?
Oh, booting from my Win7 DVD and trying the repair install option didn't work either.
Did a chkdsk and everything on my Win7 partition but it found no errors.
Any ideas how to fix this mess?
Cheers.
