Solved formatting half of partitioned C drive

Here's the first thing to try using the repair CD.

SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

ya gimmie a sec
also when i pulled up the command prompt in that weird windows thing it started out in the C:Windows/Temp??? dunno if that has to do with anything
and remember I cant get to the actual windows repair thing, when i run the disc that you told me to create it says no errors found

 

[mdamon]

when running through command prompt and putting in the scannow offboot ect.... i get windows resource protection could not start the repair service

Try booting the repair CD again and doing the 3 separate startup repairs with restarts again, this isn't making any sense at all.

Can you get to safe mode?

Can you get to safe mode?

yes, only with the same results as normal...blank desktop, only task manager, ect...

Use your Windows 7 installation disk to see if you can do a repair install, not in safe mode, from the 'desktop' if it will sort it.

i installed windows via usb when i had xp...i just chose the other partition when asked where to install it...so i cant get to the orginal installation disk...sigh

 

[mdamon]

is there any way to just get the "boot" files or whatever i need to boot from the repair disk...or disect the files on my usb installation files and get them into my c drive folder...cause i can access it as you can see in that picture...

If you format C, goodbye to Z loading.


You need a partitioning program that will install a boot loader as step 1 in setting up the hard drive. I believe Paragon Partition Manager will do this.

At boot time it will ask which system to load.

If you haven't read the entire thread you have no idea what's going on, thanks anyway.


@mdamon, I'm still working on this for you but it doesn't look good.
