View 8 Replies View RelatedI think I broke something big time. I can't get into my computer with that and I don't want to format since I have basically everything on that computer. When I boot up I get a message saying:BOOTMGR is compressed Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart. I have an 80 gig that I am not using.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAbout 25% of the pictures I have become compressed, that is, vista decides to smush the sides together so that I essentially have a column of color where I should have a picture. Entering Paint and saving the picture in paint solves the problem, but how do I keep it from happenning and/or fix multiple pictures at once?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI did something stupid. anyways. My friend sent me a zip compressed file comprising videos. So when I clicked open - it prompted me to choose which program I wanted to open the zipped file in. Since it was video files, I clicked on the Windows Media. Windows media could not recognize each file but I think reads it as a compressed file... so it gave me an error message. Now every .zip files that I download (be it videos or not), I'm obliged to open it with windows media player. How do I revert back to the way it was where I would double click and see each file inside the zipped folder?? I think I need to change the "open with" program under the properties, but I don't know where/what the previous .zip file/program is...

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have been running windows vista on my laptop for the past 8 months with no problems.... recentley i did something really bad and compressed my hard drive and it would no longer boot. So after much searching on the net i found something about bootmgr fix through dos, which i did but that did not work. Someone suggested slaving the hard drive to another machine which i did and it uncompressed..WAHEY.....or so i thought . When i put it back in the laptop it said Bootmgr is compressed so i put the vista disk and ran the startup repair.
this seemed to work for the first boot then on the second nothing happened it just would not boot so i put in the vista disc and an error message appeared, something along the lines of a hardware change has happened since the last boot and windows could not find the drivers. the hardware in question is the cd/dvd rewriter.......................so my problem is now how do i install vista on the harddrive when i can not get the disc to run in the drive? p.s i have formatted the hard drive so it is a clean install and RC1 of vista which i have will seem to run (have only tried it to see if it gets further than the real version)
I an running VISTA-32 and when trying to boot-up I get the 'bootmgr is missing' andpress cont/del/alt to continue...round and round back to same it goes. Have tried to repair with MS system disk but still the same Is the problem in the BIOS, or will a Clean Install correct the problem? I would experiment to figure it out myself but have already spent most of a day dinking with it!(Probably if I have to do a Clean install I will load Vista-64)
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy services were offered by my father to a guy to install a dual boot on his system. I have done this procedure before so I felt fairly comfortable doing it on a system belonging to a business. However, mid dual boot procedure I start recieving BootMGR Missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot. Immediatly I hit google; however, all given solutions prove to be negative in fixing. The gentalman was supposed to have backed up his system for me, the words out of his mouth are "I'm doing as we speak". Vista came preinstalled so I have no Vista Home Premium x64 disks. So, I call up the guy and he says somethings came up and he couldn't make them but what ever I do make sure I get vista working again, don't lose his stuff. Now it's forget the dual boot just get vista back, but this damn BootMGR won't stop popping up. I'm at a loss of things to do.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've tried to run System Restore, but it says that there are no restore points, which is odd as I've not turned this off.
In System Repair there are no Operating Systems listed.
I downloaded a Vista 32 disk via ImgBrn and have tried to run that, but I'm hitting walls.
I don't really have any files on the Gateway laptop, the kids just use it for homework and iTunes surfing the net.
I get this BOOTMGR missing message at startup and with some Googling I found it to be a common issue. So I tried the solution suggested by a ton of differnt sites - startup with the Vista DVD and choose the Repair option. The problem is that at the next step, Windows Vista doesn't show up as an OS in the System Recovery Options window! It's just blank so obviously when I pick "Startup Repair" nothing happens. It also says "If you don't see your OS, click on Load Drivers to load drivers for your hard drive." But if I do this I have no idea where to look and what to look for!

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy computer won't boot. Bootmgr is missing and when I put in my Vista CD it does not give me an OS to choose from. What is wrong and what can I do. Maybe it's a bad Hard Drive?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy PC has two hard drives. Windows gave me the option on boot up of proceeding with either Windows XP or Windows Vista home basic which worked fine. I then Ultimate 32 bit over the XP installation and again all seemed ok. However, the other morning I switched on the pc and got the dreaded Bootmgr is missing message. I have tried fixing using the vista disc but when it says select the OS to repair nothing is showing. If i click next and then choose the repair option it goes through the process and then you reboot but the problem still remains. I have also tried the command prompt options but they make no difference either. The Bios recognises both my hard drives are there ok.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, and decided to install it on a second partition on my hard drive, which i did. It lasted for two weeks, until i attempted to boot up one day and the message, BOOTMGR is missing, appeared on the screen. How do i solve this problem, preferably without losing data.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI messed up big time. I was increasing my virtual memory in my PC and when i was there set my C: to active. When i rebooted my PC i got a BOOTMGR is missing. So i went into repair via Vista installation disks and through the command prompt typed 'Bootsec /fixboot' then rebooted.
Then it said booting but didn't move. Then i decided to give up and do a reinstall, at expanding files i got the error Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error Code 0x8007000.
Each time I reboot i get "BOORMGR missing , hit ctrl-alt-del". does this how do the OS installed on the hards drive. Im think that my hard drive has crashed any ideas on how to verify that the hard drive is gone.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently tried to restore windows vista to original factory settings from the Recovery partition that came with my computer. However, I mistakenly made the recovery partition active because I thought that was part of the process. Now the computer is trying to boot from the wrong partition and thus saying things like "BOOTMGR missing press alt ctr del to restart" I do not have a recovery disk or the original installation. I have a recovery disk from another computer that I thought was going to work but when it showed me the recovery options it said it was incompatible with this machine. Is there some way I can access a command prompt so I can reset the correct partition through diskpart or something similar?
