What does no stirring divider expect on computer eyeshade?

Boot up near floppy or CD and at drive a:\ type

a:\ fdisk press enter

follow til you catch to the menu, then inter number 2 to set the dividing wall active. later a box will open type 1 for the wall then Esp to exit remove the floppy re start. immediately you have set the fence active.
Somethings screwed next to the Hard Drive.
Just what it says. You enjoy no partitions. You probably hold toasted <is that an verb?> your hard drive or someone dropped your partition. You probably have to reinstall Windows.
MS operating systems have need of an active divider to install itself to.



Use fdisk off of a boot floppy to look at the partition on the HDD.
Symptom: After the installation the BIOS notifies: NO ACTIVE PARTITION FOUND

Cause: The helpful flag was not set to one of the partition during the installation. For older mainboards this flag is also required.

Solution: Set this flag manually by the use of fdisk. Then start the rescue system and log in as user root.



With the command fdisk -l you are competent to figure out the device identify of your hard drive.



Here an example: An IDE easier said than done drive is connected at the primary IDE controller as Master:



fdisk /dev/hda



Please type in successively:



a to spark off the partition

1 to choose the first wall

w to write the changes



It is irrelevant for which divider the active flag is set.
The first fence, on the HD, must be the active partition.
