Hello all
I'm using a multi-boot program called bootUS. I'm booting 3 different winxp installations. Yesterday as a prank, my friend marked all three partition as "true hide" in the boot manager and now I can't boot.
Perhaps I should explained that the programs has two parts, one: a program inside xp that setup the boot manager. two: the boot manager itself which reside either in the mbr or in the first partition first sectors (I think).
I tried using Partition Magic to unhide the partition, but he shows the partitions as unformatted. Also I tried fixmbr in the windows recovery console with the result that the Boot manager wont start anymore.
The computer start as usual, but I get error: no operating system found or some such.
I'm at my wits end. I've got a couple of very important files that I can't allow myself to lose. Any advice? Any program that can unhide the partitions?
Thanks
Dave
