Fix #2: Manually configuring the active partition<\/h3>\n

A very common cause for this error to show up is not having the correct partition set as active. Referring to the description of how the PC boots<\/a>, the BIOS tries to start the boot loader up from the active partition and the bootloader searches for its configuration data from the active partition as well. If the active partition is corrupted or incorrectly set, many errors including this “Error: no such partition.” can happen.<\/p>\n

Use diskpart from the command line to set the correct partition.<\/p>\n

Execute the following commands to see a list of all partitions on your disk:\n
```
diskpart\r\nlist part<\/pre>\nPress Enter<\/kbd> after each command.<\/li>\nOnce you’ve determined which of the displayed partition needs to be active (not sure? Easy Recovery Essentials<\/a> can automatically detect problems with your active partition and automatically reconfigure the correct partition for you, no command line needed), carry out the steps below to make the changes:<\/li>\n
\nselect partition x\r\nactive\r\nquit<\/pre>\nPress Enter<\/kbd> after each command.<\/li>\nReboot for the changes to take place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/a><\/p>\ndiskpart utility results screen<\/p>\n<\/div>\nFix #3: Restore boot sector code<\/h3>\nThese steps apply only for Windows 7 users.<\/p>\n\nBoot from your Windows 7 disc<\/li>\n
