I was trying to make some space to install linux in my HP notebook.
The computer had 4 partitions, I made space shrinking one and created a new one (facepalm) using the windows partitioning tool. It show me some warning message saying something about dynamic partitions, I ingored it, and went to the linux live CD.
I installed linux in the new partition, after the installation completed it told me that GRUB cannot be installed I dont remember why.
So now, it doesnt boot, neither windows nor linux.
After google for a while I found the diskpart command, it gives me this info:
DISKPART> list disk
DISK ### Status
-------- ---------------
DISK 0 Invalid
DISKPART> select disk 0
DISKPART> select partition
Partition ### TYPE
------------- --------------
Partition 1 Dynamic Data
Partition 2 Dynamic Data
Partition 3 Dynamic Data
Partition 4 Primary <- I think I put linux here
Any idea whats happening? Or how to solve it?
Thanks
