Partition Problem - un mark partition as active.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Hello,

I have a c: and a d: partition on a windows 2000 server. I have a made a
mistake by going into disk management and marking the d: partition as active.
Now when I reboot it wont boot up to the c: drive. It just sits there saying
" attemping to boot from c: "

Any idea's on how to fix this?

Cheers

One other option is to follow the steps in Knowledge Base article 119467 How
to Create a Bootable Disk for an NTFS or FAT Partition
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=119467) to boot to Windows, and then
change set the correct partition as Active in Disk Management.
