Well, I did a pretty stupid thing. I was in disk manager and saw that my c drive was not active. Should have left well alone but no, I changed it - dumb. Now I get no boot mgr when I start up. I tried the win dvd and select repair, it says a problem has been detected and reboot. But that is a loop.\\Any ideas - please!
Cancel that - panic over. Just had to go through the repair a couple of times - phew!

Thanks, still don't understand what happened. My recovery partition was the active one on the primary drive before I messed with it. Now after the repair the c: partition is the active one (as I set it). Seems like it was booting off the recovery partition then switching to the other one - weird! -
Sounds reasonable, i guess at least it was choosing the right disk it would be fine. I dont even have a recovery partition haha ( not a proper alienware one anyways).
Can't start my machine - help!
