Hi
Powerquest Partition magic was last updated about 2002 Time of XP
It does not know about Windows Vista & 7 with hidden bootmanager partition etc
You need a bootable Windows System repair disk

if Win 7 sp1 64 bit find a friend with PC same Windows version /servicepacklevel / 32bit or 64bit and make a system repair disk to use on your PC
read up on how to use it. Try automated repair first
If boot drive is X: it implies a Windows Pre Installation Environment (on a recovery partition) has loaded rather than your old C: partition
best of luck
Thanks, I have just created a USB bootable repair disk, but unfortunately I get the same error "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically".
Under diagnostic and repair details, I have:
Root cause found:
Boot configuration is corrupt.
Repair action: partition table repair
Result: failed. Error code = 0x490
Any other ideas?
