    So I had Vista and MD3.3 booting then decided to try ubuntu. Read up on it and no warnings about MD3.3, though didn't look into it specifically.

    I have since reclaimed the space taken up by ubuntu ( liked it but needed the space and couldn't get WiFi to work ) but I got rid of the MD3.3 partition by accident, now I have 3 partitions.

    1/ OS
    2/ Recovery
    3/ space left after deleting EISA

    and now obviously MD3.3 won't boot.



    Most sources say I can't get MD3.3 back up and running without screwing around with Vista.

    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there an easy way to get it back without losing all my Vista stuff? Can't I just make a partition for it?
