hi'yall. while trying to repair a XP media ctr. system (Gateway 5520), i discovered that this Gateway system lists the C: drive as active and listed as the #1 partition, but is only 73mb and named 'backup'. after a couple of trys with a non-destructive 'restore' (re-install with a data backup to 'old' file) the system continues to boot to the c: 'backup'. it will not boot to XP, and starts the restore process over again. i tried to change boot partition in the boot.ini file, but continue to have the same results. i already tried the 'fixmbr' in cmdline, to no avail. Any ideas?
