Some of us are faced with the fact, that there exist life beyond 7-bit ASCII. (Getting emails with non-US characters in them).

When using Windows 7 64-bit version and Thunderbird, as the last is not Unicode, a person is forced to set “System Locale” to something, that should recognise our special characters.

So here is a twist to the story. By setting System locale to i.e. Slovenian, than the windows do not boot, and there is nothing you can do to make them boot.

By trying to restore the system an annoyed person gets “corrupted System partition”.

At least in my case I could solve the problem by going into the BIOS, and disabling IDE mode on my SATA disc (setting it to AHCI).
