    This just doesn't make sense SOMETHING must have happened to change C: into a logical partition P: ... but none of the steps you say you performed could have caused this.

    I wish I could help further but at this point I'm clueless...Hopefully someone else has an idea.

    tamer,

    You Can / You cannot successfully boot the hard disk under question?

    I need, at this time, only the answer to that one question.

    That is probably caused by P having an "ID code" not recognized by Win 7.

    How that occurred I do not know.

    What I do know is that sometimes TestDisk can enable you to be able to access the disk.

    After that, then if you want a dual-boot system, then let us know.

    Personally, I am very strongly opposed to dual-booting due to the numerous problems which users encounter.

    I am also a strong advocate of ditching the eXPired operating system.

    Please follow this procedure. Be sure to drag the field separators so that all fields are visible. Be sure to include the drive maps in the bottom half of the disk managment display.

    HOW TO POST A SNAPSHOT OF DISK MANAGEMENT DISPLAY
    Run disk management:
    WIN | type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER
    WIN     is the key with the wavy flag.

    Maximize the output of Disk Management:
    ALT-Spacebar key combo (this pops up a menu) followed by X key (selects Maximize) |
    Drag the field separators (such as between Status and Capacity) to show entire field. This is very important, otherwise, needed info is not visible.

    Make a snapshot:
    WIN | type SNIPPING | ENTER | New
    Drag the cursor around the area you want to snip.
    File | Save as | select save location and name | Save

    Post the snapshot:
