Resolved [Computer won't boot after adding partition]

I know I ******* up when I tried to add a partition to my C drive. Now it will not boot. Can someone tell me where to look to find step by step procedures to repair it without loosing 80 GB of data? Thanks DPI

 

A little background, what were you doing when you messed up.

You're an experienced user so I hope you understand there's no such thing as a C drive .

What software were you using to create an additional partition on your primary/boot drive?

 

Yes I do know that I dont have a "C" drive heeheehee.
I was attempting to creat a backup system where my secondary drive would be backed up on my primary and visa versa. The problem wasnt the partition. it works fine and as a mater of fact im using it as my boot drive now. i still have a problem with the other partition though. i can boot from it but windows tries to reboot and cant find either the primary or secondary hard drives. if i turn the machine off and back on it will boot. hope this makes since to you cause it sure dont to me.DPI.

 

i have 2 drives with 2 partitions on each. both partitions on the primary drive are bootable and neither partition on the secondary drive is bootable. when i boot with the second partition it works just fime but if i boot from the first partition it just dies and tries to reboot but i get the message that windows cant fine either disk. i turn the machine off then on and it boots fine runs for a while then dies again.
