    Nasty. It sounds from your description like the fixmbr utility made a change to the partition table that is incorrect. Have you tried using the "Recover Partitions" wizard in Disk Director to see if it can repair the partition table?

    By any chance are you a user of Acronis True Image? If so, do you have a recent backup image? If you do, then you should be able to restore the MBR and Track 0 from your last image to recover. Failing that you could restore the entire DATA partition from your last backup.

    If you don't have a backup, be careful of making any further changes until you get this figured out. If that's the case, I would contact Acronis customer service http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/company/contacts/request/?t=2 and ask for help. Or maybe someone else here knows of a good utility for doing partition recovery?

    I see from looking at your Disk Director screen shot that all three of your disks are bootable. Therefore, your PC BIOS will determine the disk order. You should be able to correct this by entering BIOS Setup and changing the order of the disk drives.
