Hi all,

I'm in need of some serious help here! I have 2 1TB drives, the first one is partioned like so: XP 32bit, Win 7 64bit, Games & Media and the second drive contains backups. I restored drive C: from the backup but forgot to restore the MBR and I've been having problems ever since.

I have restored the partition again with the MBR but I still can't get into Windows, I've tried to use the XP repair utility but when I get into DOS it asks me for an admin password but there never was a password before. I tried just pressing enter and putting in 'admin' etc but nothing works. I even tried deleting partition C: in order to try reinstalling XP from scratch but it doesn't recognise the file format (they show as raw instead of NTFS) of any of the partition on the drive so I can't even do that, help!
