fdisk, cfdisk, etc. will all set the bootable flag. The question is why do |
| 15 |
you need to remove a)grub, b)the /boot partition? Is your Windows recovery |

Perhaps next time you'll use partimage with Gentoo to create a back up image |

of your Windows partition and so you will be able to restore it within 40 |
| 21 |
