Problem with sony about partitions

Ok since i think i screw up, but i do have thinsg backed up, i went and bought a seagate external hardrive and used the seagate software and backed up the stuff to the SG harddrive and now i reload the stuff back on to the harddrive in the sony comp it says im missing the ntldr, but when i stick XP professional in the drive and when i get to the screen where the partitions are it says unknown disk...clueless at this point

before the sony's harddrive was on letter drive d and the recovery was on c, i dont know how this happen..but all the tsuff was being saved onto c insied the recovery while the boot, ex like program file are in D, so i went ahead and backed up the harddrive, umm partioned the space on the harddrive thats in the sony to 2 different partition (NTFS) and then i transfered the files i backed up into the original place like boot is to c and recover is to d

I'm going to need you to slow down a little bit, because to be honest after reading both of your posts....I have no clue what your problem is.

Don't take this the wrong way or anything.

You need to slow down, and type sentences, that would make sense to someone who has never seen your problem. It is easy for you to understand what you typed, because you know it already. Also using proper punctuation, would help.

hehe sorry i just want the computer to be fixed

let see: first is that the computer has 2 paritions one boot and one recovery, well the recovery was names C:// and the boot was names D://, but then all the stuff like programs i install installs on the C:// directory which is the recovery and that that partition only have 15 megabytes.

and then i went ahead and bought a seagate external harddrive for backing up the data in the internal harddrive. I started to backup the data using the seagate backup program in the cd.

then i try to transfer the boot partition from the EXseagate (D:/ that was originally from the old harddrive that was backed up) to C:// when i created a new parition on the internal harddrive, then i transfered the recovery to D://.

But like what im saying is trying to put the boot in C and the recovery on D because it was screwd up somehow.

then i started up the xp, but it wont let me to window because im missing the "ntldr", now then i try using the OEMXPPRO cd to try and repair the ntldr but which it said unknown parition on the partition screen.

now you can instant message me. my IM names are in my profile...

That shouldnt be possible....given recovery partitions are locked. You cannot install software on there.

Another thing, if it HAS a recovery partition, you shouldnt be using an OEM disk, let alone an XP Pro one. Unless of course you upgraded, and in that case your best chance to fix things would be to backup your data, run the recovery partition with F11 or whatever hotkey it is...then run the Upgrade again.

Am I to understand you tried to transfer all your data to an external HDD, DELETE all partitions on the internal HDD, and then create new partitions and transfer your data back?

Recovery partitions will automatically label all drives for you, so you dont have to worry about lettering going wrong. Your best bet is to run the recovery partition, the XP Pro upgrade to the existing O.S. (if you have the upgrade), and lastly, move the files you NEED/WANT from the external to the O.S.
