Accidentally deleted the System partition...help!!

[ejr2305]

I recently bought a new Toshiba Portege R705-P41 which came loaded with a ton of crap so I attempted to do a clean install but somehow managed to deleted the "System" partition.
Now the laptop wont boot and I stupidly didn't create a system restore point so I'm freaking out a little bit.
Is there any way I can get whatever was in the System partition back so the computer will boot and I can reinstall Windows 7?

Hello ejr2305, welcome to Seven Forums!


Boot to diskpart and use the method outlined in Step Two #2 of this first tutorial at the link below to mark the C: partition as Active and then run the 3 separate startup repairs with the restarts discussed in the main body of the same tutorial.

Thank you everyone for your helpful responses!
After making my C: the active partition and the others inactive I was successfully able to install Windows 7 with no problems!
Thanks again

Are you clean reinstalling with a Win7 Installation DVD or attempting to run Factory Recovery which will reinstall all of the factory bloatware?

Post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map with listings so we can look it over for you as it doesn't sound right.
