Startup Repair

There is one thing you other you can try.

Boot up something that sees the partitions - try PW as you already have it. ( Not usre it will do the job , but try it as you have already downloaded it .I would use gparted )

Delete the small 100mb partition.

Rt click the larger partition Modify>mark as active.

Apply.

If that works , it should rewrite the entries and then windows boot disc may be able to see it.

Hey there, well just before you post this, I googled a bit and many people said it could be a problem with installation dvd, although it didn´t seem very credible, I tried burning a new dvd, and, who knows why, now the partitions appeared

I have two of them,
DISK 0 PARTITION 1: SYSTEM RESERVED 100 MB , 70 MB FREE, TYPE: SYSTEM
DISK 0 PARITION 2 TOTAL SIZE 1397.2 GB FREE 1397.2 TYPE PRINCIPAL

don´t want to mess things up, so I preffer to wait for your advice on what to do

thanks,

That looks better - try startup repair now - you may be lucky

Hi guys, sorry if my questions seems simple, but as I said, I´m no expert.
How should I run a startup repair with the installation cd?

Boot it up, you will get a scrren saying "Install Now"

Click at bottom left where it says Repair My computer.

yes.

If startup repair doesn't work , scroll down thru the list it gives all the way and see what it tells you.
