Windows 7 not booting after HDD partition.

[aakalim]

Hi
Well my windows 7 has refused to boot up after i tried to create a new HDD partition. I actually wanted to install windows xp as a dual boot system with windows 7. The partition was created succesfully but when i restarted my system, the windows 7 did not boot up. I only get a blinkind dot and it does not allows me to so anything next. I have tried startup repair from the DVD but it could not detect the problem. Please suggest me something.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Try this:

You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.

Get a bootable partition Manager - this is a good free one:

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to boot computer directly ...

Make sure the Windows partition is marked Active ( If not rt click it select Modify>Set as Active, Apply. )

Then try running startup repair from the 7 dvd - it may take 3 runs.

Hope it helps.
