I have no idea what is wrong.

Here is my setup when everything was ok:
Disk 1 Internal:
Partition 1: Logical (WINDOWS)
Partition 2: Primary/Actice

Disk 2 Internal:
Partition 1: Logical

Disk 3 (USB):
Partition 1: Logical

Then I used Partition Magic to change Disk 2 to Primary/Actice. After it is done everything is still fine. Next I did actions below:
Disk 1 Partition 2: Logical
Disk 1 Partition 1: Primary
Disk 1 Partition 1: Set Active
Disk 3 Partition 1: Primary
Disk 3 Partition 1: Set Active

After I pressed Apply, the Partition Magic asked to reboot. But Window does not start, it is just black screen with promp. No matter what I tried it always display black screen. I also tried to reinstall window but it is still same.

Please help.
Thanks

hi.
probably there is a conflict between partiotions and your os does not load.
u can try reinstall windows in one disk of these
propably usb disk and after that use partition magic to rejoin the separatet disk.

damn man...i'm lost

just dump everything off to a large drive and re-do your partitioning, and don't make so many damn logical partitions, it's confusing! :P

Change your active partition back to it's original state. Windows does NOT like it when you change your active boot partition.
