Quick formating Q
Hey guys I've been using Vista ultimate as my primary OS for some time and have been wanting a change, so i shrunk and formatted 110GB or my 1TB HDD and installed windows server 2008. Now ive transfered all my nessesary stuff onto the server partition and i am ready to format my vista install and expand my server 2008 partition. Now is this possible, Computer Management isnt giving me an option to format or shrink or anything on both partitions, i have set my Server 2008 partition as active and nothing? thanks -- protocol Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

After setting the Server 2008 partition active, you have to create the boot manager files on the partition using bootrec /rebuildbcd and the startup repair commands. |
