Last night, on my primary machine, I installed PartitionMagic to partition my drive off and clear things up abit. It said, after selecting the first partition I wanted to create - to restart, and, after the Windows loading screen, loaded up and tried to apparently create the partition - but failed, giving an "Error 27 - Cannot Lock Drive"
It then asks for you to hit any key to reboot, and this cycle continues, and I cannot get in to Windows. I dont care about partitioning anymore, I just need to get back into my files - urgently.
I have access to the BIOS etc - and have set it to boot from CD, then HDD. Can I burn a cd that will let me boot into Windows to uninstall Partition Magic, or how in the flying crap do I get back in?
Thanks!
