[RESOLVED] Destroyed Partition
Hello everyone,
As you can see in my signature I'm dual booting with XP and 7. Today I tried to make a third partition using the Ubuntu Live Cd (that has GParted) but EVERYTHING went wrong (I accidentaly pressed "Cancel" during the resize of my Windows 7's partition) and now I can't boot into Windows 7. Then I tried to use my Windows 7 CD to fix the partition but it didn't do anything so then I typed "chkdsk D:" in a command promt but it said that the file system was "RAW" and it didn't do anything. :( Re-installing Windows 7 or deleting that partition isn't an option for me since all of my programming projects and data are in that partition and I really don't want to lose them.
P.S. Did my message look stressed ? Because I really am.

I tried to install a virtual machine (Windows 7) a long time ago using VMware but the installation was at least 10 times slower than the actual installation of windows 7. Also, everything I did with it was really slow so I deleted it.

I'm not sure how virtualization software was when you tested, but I use VirtualBox now on my desktop and mac, and everything runs smoothly. My desktop is AMD Athlon 6000+ but only 2GB of RAM, so under Windows 7 host I can only install XP as gues and give it 512 RAM. But on the iMac I have VMs for XP, Vista and 7 64bit. Running as fast as ever.
