lu0s3r322 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 ok so i have two HD's and one is split into two partitions one of which has OS X on it. The other partition is just for extra windows storage. The first HD had xp on it but i accidentally deleted in when i tried to install vista. i had acronis os selector installed but now it isn't working. luckily i have everything from windows backed up. i cannot boot from a CD unless acronis is working. help! i dont have a floppy either. Specs: Dell 4600 Pentium 4 2.8 GHz 1.5 GB Ram nVidia GeForce 6200 80GB HD & 160GB HD Primary Drive: Dvd-Rom 2nd drive: Memorex DVD-RW, which i cannot boot from somehow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27881-accidentally-deleted-windows-partition-cannot-boot-from-cd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 your more than likely going to have to pop that hdd into another pc to install acronis then dumpit back into your sys and go from there. good luck! max Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27881-accidentally-deleted-windows-partition-cannot-boot-from-cd/#findComment-190288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
