Default Reclaiming partition 'S'

okay so for those interested in a solution I figured something out that
seemed to work for me.

basically I made the original C drive the "active" drive using the drive
manager tool built into Vista Ultimate.

Then I put my OS installation dvd into the dvd drive and restarted the
computer. I hit the F12 key to get into the one-time boot screen and booted
from my OS installation dvd. I used the "repair" system option and it
reinstalled files that were missing from my C drive.

Once the computer booted normally I deleted the partioned drive and
reallocated the extra hard drive space to my drive using the "extend" drive
tool. Hope this helps some people. I'm relieved I got it to work.
