Can't boot after deleted System Reserved Partition

I only have Windows 7 installed. I accidentally deleted the System Reserved Partition and now I can no longer boot into Windows 7. The installation of Windows and all my files still exist in the partition, but without the System Reserved Partition I can no longer boot.

After I deleted the System Reserved Partition I moved left the primary partition to fill the space.

Is there any way I can "reinstall" that System Reserved Partition and the boot files?


  1. Boot to your Windows DVD
  2. Get past startup repair to get a command prompt
  3. Type diskpart then enter
  4. Type list partition then enter
  5. Make a note of the partition number of your real "C:"
  6. Type select n where n is the partition number
  7. Type active
  8. Exit diskpart
  9. Reboot and run startup repair 3 times.
