    Hi every1,

    i wanted to merge my c and d partition (using partition magic), so after i pressed apply it restarted in the blue screen but after a while it stopped at 5%. So i turned off the pc but now it said something about a system file missing (not sure which one). I had made a copy in erecovery, i tried to install everything from the cd. When it was finished, i rebooted and than windows started to load but after like 1 min i got a blue screen saying that a autochk could not be done.

    After some searching on the internet i learned about the alt+F10, so i pressed these buttons and it started installing windows in the hidden partition. After this i got scared and tried to delete this partition with partition magic. Now i could not use the recovery cd anymore because it could not install the files into the c: or some other partition. Now some from it services at my school tried to put back the partition, so now i have back my partitions and i installed again the software from the recovery cd. So when i finished doing this i removed the cd and rebooted. Now i got this message : NTLDR is missing. But when i press reboot and press ALT+F10 is starts windows and i see all my partitions.

    How can i put everything back to the way it was..

    please help, and sorry for my bad english or long story
