From the live cd open qtparted, select the drive with windoze on it and then select make bootable for the partition win resides on. You may have to look through the menus to get the selections correct.
Also the live cd may ask for the root password when you click on qtparted-usually 'root'.
Hope that helps.

You Need help Quick Please, but apparently not so much that you would use an informative subject line that would draw someone to your post or one that would make the response that you receive findable by others with the same problem.

' man activate '

' fdisk -l '
' activate /dev/hda 1 ' (Or whatever partition your Windows is on)

--For just about everybody dual-booting Linux, I highly recommend buying a secondary HD and devoting it to Linux. Disk space is so cheap these days, and it gets around all the resizing-partitions and boot problems.
