Dear all, ive seen this thread and i faced the same problem on vista,
after an ungraceful shutdown, during windows update..

i tried almost everything.. vista repair disk, fixboot, fix mbr,
scanning for bad sectors, none of which fixed the problem..

but as a desperate attempt i did one last thing, i used acronis true
image which detected all my drives n files without a problem... took a
full image of the system 187Gig took approx 7-8 hours..

then i resized the partition... !!!!!!!!!!

and believe it or not it worked... try it out.. but before u fiddle
around i suggest u back up ur data.. screwing around with the partition
table could waste all ur data.. oh.. and dont forget to keep the charger
on if ur using a laptop.. lols i forgot to plug it in during half the
backup process, so had to do it all over again...

neway.. best of luck
