Amr,
can you boot in safemode, if yes then you can restore your system from there.

Amr,

I assume you have tried to boot from a boot disk? You may also want to contact the software vendor to see if they have any suggestions. My computer will still not recognize my hard disk when I try system restore and still no answer.

Hi, I hope you guys can help me. I am in a middle of a mess. I wanted to create a new partition on my 160GB laptop hard drive, other than the two that were already created. I used Partition Magic to create the partition not knowing that it’s unsupported by Vista. So I lost the drive letter for one of my drives (D: drive). I googled for answered and downloaded a software that supposedly fixes this issue but it got worse and now my laptop doesn’t recognize my hard drive. I tried to boot into Vista’s repair disk but it doesn’t show me my system drive (C: drive) so I can’t restore my computer, and “startup repair” doesn’t help either. I don’t know what to do now, I’m stuck. I’ll appreciate any help guys!
