Weird problem..

Well, first of all, under the advanced tab there is only "Startup and recovery" and when I click it, there is no edit button. NOTE: I have windows 2000 professional.

What does it show in the "default operating system" box?

Also in windows explorer, how big does it say your "C:\" and any other valid partitions are? Does this come to the total drive size?

In Win2000 you can see Fat32 and NTFS partitions so you should be able to see if your drive has been partitioned or not? I suspect that the problem is not with your drive but with your startup program.

I agree with the other posters don't use partition magic

:)

Thank you all for your advice, apparantly my brother fixed it but is being too childish to tell me how he did it at the moment. All he tells me is "I removed the dual booting" which I figured was a partition but he told me no, there was no partition.

Yes, it would be in the startup program, and not a partition. If it were a partition you would have seen it :)

You might still look at the default operating system box to see if there is another option, but he could have just deleted it.

Cheers

SirSub already hinted in the right direction.. Your brother editted c:\boot.ini and removed the "windows Xp" option...
