If you insist on BootMagic, then boot your PC using the BootMagic rescue disk. Restore BootMagic and all is well! (If you didn't create a BootMagic rescue disk, then use the boot disk that I instructed you to create in a previous E-mail and boot your PC with it. Next, change to the

so, I managed (with your help) to start Windows now. I used the Partiton Manager and made the MBR of the D: bootable and not the C: one (which was actually my old D:). Now, windows is booting, BUT there is still an error before booting, saying something like "no boot partition found" or so...

I'm curious...did you use the 1) BootMagic rescue disk or 2) Have to make your own boot disk and then run the BootMagic program from the HD? yep, I made an own "rescue" disk and run BootMagic from the HD, but I did actually the changes NOT with BootMagic (this didn`t work well under Dos...),

The lovely thing about the ISO image was that I got a self-booting CDROM from it. Entire Linux installed with nothing but one CDROM disk. And it even worked with the hard drives the previous version wouldn't touch (36.5 gig Maxtors). yes, I believe that, but DOES IT WORK with the downloaded

I suggest downloading a better download manager. Don't be offended, but I'm not a fan of Getright. I suggest downloading Go!Zilla. It does a wonderful job...and it is totally free. When using Go!Zilla (and/or others, such as WS_FTP), it seems that it doesn`t download the symlink
