you can go into safe mode and undo your actions.

start pc press f8 a continuelly untill you get a boot up screen that gives you the safe mode option.enter for safe mode.
if it freezes before that slave your disk in another machine and run a chkdsk.now try to startup again.

also try a boot disk of partition magic that way you can boot upto partition magic and change the drive parameters to how you want it using dos.
that might do the trick that sittas87 is thinking of as well if safe mode doesnt work
