Solve : Partitioned HDD?

Answer»

Hi,
In the command windows, I entered these lines:
>> List disk
>> Select disk 1
>> List partition
>> create partition primary id=af
>> active

I was PLANNING on having a dual boot but decided not to have one. Now, when I turn on my COMPUTER end up with a blank screen - only the letter "j" and a blanking cursor. I can't type anything. I tried using the recovery disk that came with my toshiba, but it asks to INSERT the last used media. I used a windows XP repair disk but it could not FIND any HDDs. But I know that my HDD was not deleted and still exists because using a linux boot cd, it can find the partitions. I have no idea what to do now, if anyone can shed some light I really appreciate it.What are you attempting to do here ? ?

this has nothing to do with MS-DOS or the XP command interpreter.

Have you tried an XP repair installation?
