Reboot during Partition Magic

Hey Guys,

I have read other threads here that are similar to my situation, but it seems that all of these people could access Windows.

I have a Windows XP SP2 PC that I tried to partition the 80 GB HD into 3 partitions for dual OS. I was shortening the 80 GB NTFS to 60 GB NTFS, 14 GB ext3 (Linux) and a 2 GB Linux swap.

Partition Magic 7 was at 7% and then my PC rebooted. I don't know why this happened. Now when it boots, I get the HP splash screen and I can access BIOS, but Windows will not load. Any ideas of how I can get Windows to load without losing anything?


Thanks,

Ganooch

Can I create a boot disk from Partition Doctor and then rebuild the partition?
