Windows 2000 SP4 serious boot problem

[anarchitecte]

Hi!
I know I should not post a new threat but I guess my case is really specific.
I had a clean and stable install of Windows 2000 SP4. But a previous Ubuntu installation messed up my partioning. I wanted it cleaner. I have a small HDD.I had

C:NTFS Win2kSp4 (5Gb)
D:NTFS Myfiles (5Gb)
E:FAT32 Temp (100 Mb to small)
F:NTFS Paging File Disk (1400 Mb for 320 Mb Ram = too big)

I wanted to allocate 400 Mb from F to E. I used the Windows Partition Manager after noticing Partition Magic Demo doesn't do anything until you pay. So I put paging back to C:, rebooted, deleted E: and F: hoping being able to fuse them to split them better after. It was impossible because it seemed E: was linked to D: as an extension. So I created a new F: NTFS Paging disk (960 Mb), E: FAT32 as temp1 (100Mb) and H: FAT32 as Temp2 (400Mb). Set the paging to F:. reboot.
Just after Bios appeared "NTLDR missing". No boot possible.
I boot from Windows CD to look at partitions. C: became F: and F: became C:
I reboot into recovery console and make "fixmbr"
Now appears"strike F1 to....". I boot from Windows CD and run Emergency Repair. Long and suspect deleting and copying. "Repair Setup Completed"
But still not boot: "strike F1..." :dead:
I would like not to have to reinstall Windows. Does anybody have a solution.

Thanks

I see nobody was inspired
I solved it alone. I discovered on Microsoft Website that I had probably changed the active disk. No warning and no boot.
Emergency repair did not help!
Copying NTLDR from InstallCD to bootsector changed nothing.
Trying with a Ubuntu Live CD was to difficult and maybe not possible to.
At the end I installed a second copy of 2000 on a different partition. I'll delete it now.
What a waste of time
