Hello,
I have a hard time with one of my external drives. By mistake, I rewrote the boot sector & the partition system of my main HD, the one that is physically on my computer (but that did not show as "C:").
It stated, when I did the changes :
"You will have to reboot for the change to take effect."
I did not reboot (but at one point will have to) and I just DONT want the changes to take effect anymore as there was nothing wrong with my HD (I believe the other drive is physically shot after all).
What can I do to cancel the changes before they take effect ?
Thanks (quite urgent...)
Franck

Re: Cancel changes before they even took effect
If the partition table you have rewritten contains the same information than previously, there will be no effect.
