I used by mistake the command Fdisk on Hdisk C wich contain win 2000 pro
sys, in place of drive D, and i suppressed NTFS partition and i create Fat

contained before this manupilation?

For anyone to answer your question, you would have to provide complete
and exact details of what you did with fdisk.

If you formatted the system/boot partition (C:) by mistake, then there
is probably little chance that you would be able yourself to take the
steps that might - possibly - lead to recovering that original partition
with data structures intact. (That's probably not possible for anyone,
even an experienced and competent professional.)

Best you grind your teeth for a while, and then reinstall everything you
destroyed. In 20 years it won't seem such a huge blunder.

If you did what I think you did, it's an easy fix.

What I think you did was try to partition the 8MB of unallocated space
win2k needs to boot.

Just delete that little partition.

Someone did that to their machine, and sent me to fix it. Took me
awhile to figure out what they did....
