Solve : deleted active partition!? |
|
Answer» HI there, im after getting myself into a spot of bother. i have a targa visionary xp-210. i wiped it and installed xp pro sp. 2. but the drive had two partitions, so i deleted one and CREATED a new one from it. i them merged the two partitions, USING partition magic, which required a re-start. but, when i restarted it turned out i had deleted the active partition. now theres no active partition, and it wont boot. it wont read the dvd drive. it will read a usb drive. the only bios i can find is by pressing F8 repeatedly, this is what it LOOKS like on that screen; USB RMD-FDD : Generic USB Stor age-SMC IDE-0 : TOSHIBA MK6021GAS BBS-0 : Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) [up/Dn] Select [Return] Boot [ESC] cancel i have no clue what to do at this stage. can anyone help? thanks for reading, ned .TRAVEL to bootdisk.com and DLoad the WinME bootdisk. Use the file to create a bootable floppy/CD. Boot to the disk and at the A: prompt type fdisk and hit enter. Use FDisk to partition and set the first partition active. NOTE: You will then have to run format before you can use the new setup... p.s. This will also load drivers that will enable you to use the optical drive... |
