I'm somehow not entirely happy with the synopsis not being understable all alone (without the long descriptions...and also virtually requiring the long description to be read *before* it). How about: _Description: Return to the menu to set the bootable flag? The boot partition has not been marked as a bootable partition, even though this is required by your machine in order to boot. You should go back and set the bootable flag for the boot partition. . If you don't correct this, the partition will be used as is and it is likely that the machine cannot boot from its hard disk. It makes the question nearly independent from the long description. I also minimized the "personnalization" by dropping "your" for the partition. My proposal is also slightly more directive by saying "You should"...and I shorten the alternative paragraph to clarify what could happen.
