I was using partition commander to create a new partition on my hdd. It somehow messed up my mbr. I tried several things in partion commander and tried to do a system restore to no avail. I finally decided to just use the recovery disk, which is a norton ghost image, to restore it. Now I am getting a message that says "No OS or unformatted active partition". This is really frustrating and I need to get my laptop back up soon.

*edit*
I fixed it.
