    Kelvin24,

    This is the backup forum. Do you have a backup image you can restore? This will take you back to the pre-Linux situation.

    This was probably :
    Code:
    Error 60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area.
    So, the file is fragmented...
    Maybe you could use the Boot-Repair-Disk to change the boot order back to Windows.
