Hey
I have a Compaq Presario CQ50. It came with a recovery partition (PRESARIO_RP). I removed Vista and put XP on it but I wanted Vista back so I tried to boot into recovery by pressing F11 at POST, didnt work and booted into XP. So I went into disk management and tried to set the recovery partition to active as I have done before when this has happened, but it was greyed out.
So I loaded Windows 7 disk and removed the XP partition so I was left with only the recovery partition so it would boot to that. Now I get
"NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
and cannot perform recovery. Any idea how I can get into this? All the files are still o the partition as 9gb of 10 is taken up on it.
Any help will get rep.
thanks!
