OK, here's the story, I wanted a fresh WinXP install, but I didn't wanna lose my files. What I did was created a secondary partition, put my files there. Next, I went to the WinXP installation CD, deleted my main partition, and created a new one in it's place, and installed WinXP over. Everything was almost done, until I decided to delete the secondary partition I had made (for the files I wanted to move to the new WinXP partition). Problem was, Partition Magic 8 said it(the secondary partition) was "Active" and that the partition I was using PM8 on, wasn't active. So I was like w/e and deleted the secondary partition. Next, It said I had to make one of the partition's "Active". The option for doing htat on my now main partition was grey's out. So I again was like w/e (didn't wanna post on here cause I couldn't get the damn SS thing working) So i rebooted. Got to the screen before WinXP...it tells me to insert the system disk . What do I do from here to make my WinXP partition bootable again? I'd REALLY appreciate help here, thanx!
BTW my main XP partition is now inside a Primary Partition, meaning it's a Logical partition for some odd reason.
