You can use diskpart commands in the command prompt window to change the active partition. In the command prompt:

diskpart
list disk
select disk n (where n = disk where system reserved partition resides from the list disk choices)
list partition
select partition m (where m = system reserved partition from the list partition choices)
active

Then reboot. Be careful to make the correct selections when using diskpart.

If you can boot from a windows install disk, it has the option to run the command prompt. Run it from the install disk and enter the commands as I stated.
