I recently created a new partion on my windows hdd. I used this to install an unnamed OS on it 
Anyway, I could not boot it up as I forgot to set the new OS partion to active, so it wouldn't work.
So i downloaded GParted to boot Vista
Anyway, I have deleted that partition, and added it back to my original windows one. So I then set it back to "Active"
Thinking this would now work on its own, i rebooted. And it did it again
Have i missed something out, that i need to do?
Am i right in thinking the MBR is messed up?
