HELP!!! Deleted C: Drive, can i make D: drive default? "sagelybat" <u35650[ at ]uwe> 07.07.2007 05:12:26 Hi, New laptop had XP on D: drive, and Linux on the C: drive. There is also an E: drive with XP Pro on it that I did not touch. Linux was giving me problems, and I wanted it gone. I thought it was a simple partition issue, so I deleted the Linux C: drive. Now, nothing will boot when computer is turned on. What can I do to get the d: drive as my default running system? eveything is saved on the D: drive that I need! thx in advance, plz respond asap

RE: HELP!!! Deleted C: Drive, can i make D: drive default? Greg 07.07.2007 14:04:01 I'd try to boot from your XP installation CD and select to enter recovery console. From there change the Linux Master Boot Record with an XP one. I believe the command you want is FIXMBR. Good luck.

"sagelybat via WindowsKB.com" <u35650[ at ]uwe> 08.07.2007 00:01:21 I got rid of the other partition as well; (I figured I could do no more harm, right?) Then, it really was as simple as reinstalling from the OS cd! Thank you both for your keen advice -- I appreciate it :) -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/windows-xp-configuration/200707/1
