Change bootable System Partition

$
0
0

I have 2 Major Partions. one has Win XP(Partition 0) installed. and the other has Win 7 starter(partition 1 i think)

Now, i intend to format the partion containing Win XP and extend the Win 7 partition to include the win XP partition. however, in Disk Management,i get the following

HP_PAVILLION (the one having Windows XP) (System, Active, Primary Partition)
Win7 (Boot,PageFile, CrashDump, Primary Partition)

This obviously implies that i cant format/delete HP_PAVILLION

I cant seem to make Win7 Active because then my boot fails with the message

NTLDR is Missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart

Why isnt there a System Tag in my Win7 Drive.

Howdo i make the Comp boot successfully from Win7 (After having set it as Active)?

And finally, If the Above 2 are done, will i be able to perform my partition delete and extend?
