No longer booting

Hi,

I needed more space that the 70gb the drive had setup.
So I thought I would remove one of the other partitions on the disk and reformat as NTFS.

I choice the large one, thinking the small one would contain any boot details.
However when it boots it is not coming up with the OS choice menu, so I cannt get it to load into windows.

How to I get it to boot please?

Thanks,
Simon.

Generally we do not sell dual boot units. You must have purchased one of the early evaluation units.
I suggest reinstalling. You can use a standard XP home installation CD, or we can ship you a XP recovery DVD.

I did wonder.
I guess I will have to buy a USB CD-ROM.

Thanks.

You should be able to reinstall from USB if you happen to have a thumb drive. 1GB should do it for XP. I haven't done it with XP myself but Win7 was pretty easy. I found a step-by-step guide online.

Just something to consider before you plunk down for a USB drive you'll never use again.
