Topic: Managing flags and applying operations

I am receiving help from Chaslang at Major Geeks.  I removed the AlureonJ trojan from my computer with Windows Defender Offline and screwed up my computer.  It won't boot properly.

We used G-parted to manage flags on two of my partitions.  After I did that I clicked on the apply check to apply the pending operations and the pop up box that asks if I want to apply the pending operations did not come up.

I shut down G-parted and removed the cd from the computer.  Upon restarting the computer to see what would happen the normal boot sequence started bringing up "DEL" and "F12" and I just let it go without clicking on anything.

The next thing that came up was this:

BOOTMGR is missing.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

My question is this.  Were the changes I made to manage the flags saved?  That's all I'm asking. 

I'm not doing anything else on the computer until I hear back from Chaslang over at Major Geeks on what to do next. I'm not sure I have this in the right section.

Re: Managing flags and applying operations

While most operations (create, resize, move, etc) are queued, changes to the partition flags are immediately saved to the partition.
See Managing Partition Flags.
