alright..

on my other computer I made a new partition using gparted so i can install ubuntu.. i accidently made it my "primary partition".. and when i boot my computer it says no OS found (obviously..) I'm trying to get into windows 7 (beta) but i need to set my other partition (the one w/ windows 7)as primary.. how do i do this? (I can't find the option in gparted.. the only reason my new partition was set as primary is because it asked me would i like to set as primary when i formatted or made it.. i think)

I find the gparted interface to be terrible. Here. This should be better. Be sure to do all this on a livecd.

Change the mounting section to your liking. /mnt/gentoo is not necessary.

Think of that guide as reference to your issue. It explains all.
