this article first. Diskpart is an ugly beast and it will really help if you have some idea about what you are doing with it.
Then get back into recovery console, type "diskpart", and check that your system volume is set active. You will be doing something along the lines of this:
code:
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
* Disk 0 Online 186 GB 0 B *
Disk 1 Online 34 GB 0 B
Identify your boot hard drive. Of course, if you only have one, it's very easy. In my case, it's disk 1.
code:
DISKPART> select disk 1
Disk 1 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list partition
Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 34 GB 32 KB
DISKPART> select partition 1
Partition 1 is now the selected partition.
DISKPART> detail partition
Partition 1
Type : 07
Hidden: No
Active: Yes
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
* Volume 4 C BOOT NTFS Partition 34 GB Healthy System
Read the details and be sure it's the right drive and partition. If it is, it should say "Active: Yes". If it does not, type the command "active".
"Exit" exits.
If this isn't the problem -- I have a feeling it will be -- then try "fixmbr" command (also in recovery console).
