Wrong partition Active, now XP wont boot!

[brianosaur]

I inadvertantly made a partition on my non-o/s secondary HDD "active" when I was trying to resize it. Now of course XP doesn't boot.
AHHHH! ...one step forward, two steps back!

Try using a windows 98 boot disk and using fdisk to reset your partitions.
If you don't have one, you can find one here: http://www.dynamicit.us or here http://www.bootdisk.com

Partition Magic can fix it for you too if you made the recovery disks.
