What happens when someone doesn't listen to his instincts and goes ahead and partitions his drive without scanning and defragging first, literally chopping windows into two pieces so it's unable to load itself?
I split my existing windows partition into two, the origional partition starting at 0 and going to half way, and another new partition starting from half way and going straight to the end, using efdisk.exe. Of course, only after I realised that I was just chopping up my data by doing this, and I messed up my partition table... my computer is unable to start up, getting just past the ThinkPad splash screen and then staying at a blinking cursor.
No, I didn't make an emergency partition recovery diskette, or a boot disk, or anything. My floppy drive is shot.
I don't have the original recovery CDs for my laptop, as it was bought off e-Bay. *ouch*
I need some method of restoring my computer. My guess is, I need some sort of bootable CD? I can't get access to a DOS prompt even. Somebody must have some method of restoring my laptop. Thanks.
