0 active partition after reformatting my HDD

After a severe system failure I decided to reformat my hdd. Of course Iâ€™ve backed up all the necessary data. However it wonâ€™t boot to system Iâ€™ve installed on the newly formatted HDD. I saw that this can be a consequence of 0 active partition set, but still not sure how to fix this problem.

This is easily solved with the same software youâ€™ve partitioned your hdd, whether itâ€™s acronis, or partition magic, or even the text-only fdisk software. Just find an option saying â€˜set active partitionâ€™, or select a partition and choose â€˜set this partition activeâ€™. You might wanna do this booting from a start-up diskette.
