Server 2003 recovery console
Hi I have a server 2003 standard machine will not boot. When I go into the recovery console and type the map command the drive shows a question mark next to it instead of a C:. I was thinking MBR but I've never seen this before. Does anyone know how to solve ths?

Hi. Thank you. Here's the situtation. The disk is 2 partitions C and E. I don't care about C too much. The data is on E. When I try to do a repair on the C drive it comes up with no letter and reads that it is a dynamic disk. I can delete the c partition but it says it will mess up the partition table. What are the odds that fix mbr may mess up the partition table? I know there is no guarantee that it won't but I don't want to lose the data on E.
