    Yarr, i got a problem!

    I used partition magic 7 to format the partitions i had for linux and the swap. Now the computer can't find the OS, the OS is win2k and it's on C:

    What to do? :(

    Put your win2k disc in, go to the recovery console and run fixmbr :thumb:

    Unlucky :wallbash:

    Are you sure school will be over the moon about you deciding to change the partitions on their property? :worried:
