Hi,

Don't remember the flags but diskpart from cmd may save you.

Hi all, so I have a duel boot system running windows 7 and Windows XP.
Yes yes I know, old lol. But I was going to delete my windows xp partition
and install windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 10. That way I will have
windows 7 for older applications if needed. So I went and marked windows xp
as inactive so that I could delete this partition.
Windows 7 was also marked as active so figured it would just boot to windows
7 automaticly. But now of course it says can't find operating system. Ug. So
what program can I use that may be accessible for me to mark the partition
as active again? I did not mess with the windows 7 partition so it should
still be set to active. Bart PE maybe? Or any other easy to use things that
are accessible? Thank you.
