I'm pretty sure I know this question, but is there a way to fix the partition table? It seems mine went belly up after trying to update my video drivers (i'm assuming a virus here).

OK, this is what I done so far:

Using the Vista DVD, I went to System Recovery options. At first the setup did not see the Windows Vista partition. I attempted to fix the startup problems by using the first option.

After rebooting, it did not work (still shows invalid partition table). Using the DVD again, this time it recognized the C: drive partition, but with 0bytes. It gave me an option to fix that partition and reboot, which I did, but still no go.

After reboot, I went back in the 3rd time, this time it recognize the partition as Vista Business [recovered], with the correct byte size (20GB). I went into Command Prompt and issued the fixmbr and fixboot commands which reported to be successful. Rebooted and still get the partition table error...

One thing I did noticed is that when in Command Prompt, my partitions were still alive, so if I can just access the drive to back up my files, then I wouldn't worry too much and reformat the drive.
