help with recovery partition no more bootable
hi guys, first of all sorry for my english, i'm italian. i've recently bought an acer 3810t. i made an image of the recovery hidden partition called PQSERVICE. then after trying to install ubuntu i had to format it all. i recovered the partition from the image bot it's not booting anymore. I managed to reinstall vista whith the recovery dvds but i'd like to make the hidden partition bootable. guess it's something to do with bcdedit. I am able to access the partion. I copied alla the files from the partition to an external hd, used easybcd and now the external hd boots, i tried to do the same thing with the (un)hidden partition but no way. can you please help me? basically all i need to know is how to make a general drive vista-bootable thanks -- luggio |

combination on booting, is that what you mean?
