Harddisk messed up - 05/25/10 15:54

Hey all,

Somehow my C files was moved to D, D files to E, E files to C...
And everything's messed up, they didn't 'really' moved, the disk letter has just got messed up with the Mac OSX installation tongue (I just got into the idea of the Hackintosh, dunno why)

and since Mac messed my PC, I promised to not break Apple's EULA again tongue

How to solve this mess? I can't access my Windows.
(And no, I unfortunately can't change my boot drive to D. But if anyone knows how, please tell me.)
(And yeah, my BIOS can boot from a USB drive.

google parted magic live cd. download it, burn to a cd, boot from it.

It boots to a simple stripped down linux. there is partition tool on desktop, add boot flag to your windows partition and reset.

Shame on you! Anybody who claims to be experienced with a computer ought to know how to edit partitions with a Linux live cd. tongue

I already edited them with my Snow Leopard Installation CD! grin

(BTW, I'm talking from a Mac right now, Mac users will see this letter: )

EDIT: Damn, I forgot about the limited Unicode support.
