📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses a user who resized partitions on their Vista Business system, causing the disk to change to dynamic with the system now unable to boot properly. Others suggest that the user might need to reformat, but the original poster inquires about repairing the bootloader or MBR and ways to avoid reinstalling Windows. The conversation indicates concern about data recovery and troubleshooting steps, with a brief mention of third-party tools that may help restore the MBR.

I have installed VISTA Business on my Computer on a 500gb SATA HDD.

Yesterday I resized the partitions using VISTA partition manager.

In the process the setup changed to dynamic disk.

I am a newbie to vista.

After I rebooted the syetem I find thesystem looking out bootable media.

But using the command prompt from the vista bootable disk I can see the C: drive with all the data in it.

I want to get my system back without losing data

Please help

If what your saying that when you now boot the pc comes back saying 'looking for bootable media' or in other words it cannot find any.... Then I'm afraid you may have no option but to do a reformat.
