Lost a drive due to Windows making it as system disk

[Windows Central Question]

Hi

I was trying to install dual operating system in my PC, already had Windows 7 installed on my machine, i installed windows server 2008 on another drive.
After this installation, i was expecting to get both the operating system working, but unfortunately only Windows 2008 is working, i dont understand why?
Also Windows made one of my disk containing data as SYSTEM ACTIVE PARTITION and hence i am not able to view my data, eventhouth the disk is showing 90 % full in disk management console

I have 2 queries
1] How would i get dual operating system
2]How would i be able to view my data.

Hi Welcome to Windows Central.I have never heard of Windows making a disc active. That usually takes a right click and selecting active. It's really hard to tell where you are in the process. My thinking is a tool like parted magic might help you with this issue. https://partedmagic.com/
