I currently do not have my computer specs with me so I will try and explain the situation in full.
I heard about windows 7 a few weeks ago from a friend of mine who has it so... I decided to try it.
I have a portable hard drive 400gb which I stored the .ISO of windows 7 onto for the download of the system. At first it seemed as if the download went fine.... that is, until I restarted the computer, afterwards I got the "BOOTMGR is missing Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart"
MY situation is that I have no DVD of Windows 7 or Vista (It is currently with my older sister at her college), but just a copy of the Windows 7 disk on my Hard drive (Files are located at the root of the hard drive) SO what is there to do to fix this computer with just these files?
I built myself a computer like today and it was working fine 3 hours ago and I shut off the computer. 3 Hours later, I turn it back on, it goes into the screen that says: "BOOTMGR is missing. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart". So I searched up some things and it says to put my Windows 7 installation disc in and repair it. But when I go into the repair mode, it gives me the error "the version of system recovery options is not compatible with the versn of windows you are trying to repair".
so i came home from work and my pc was showing on the screen "BOOTMGR is missing" to restart pres ctrl+alt+delete. i have no idea what to do. i have beenrunning an ocz agility 3 60gb ssd as my boot drive for about 3 weeks and it has been working flawlessly. nothing in the system has changed.
i couldn't get the startup repair to appear on pressing f11 at the time of startup, so that i could restore to factory settings.
1.Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.
2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.
4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."
5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).
And step 5 never happened...instead this is what i got:
BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart on restarting and pressing esc, i get f1 system information f2 system diagnostics f9 boot device options f10 BIOS setup f11 system recovery
nothing works and I don't even have recovery disks((I know I am the dumb)..plus I don't have access to any other windows computer and my hospital software only works on windows?
i'm a bit desperate here! I partitioned my C drive so that I could install windows 7 (which i did and was running fine). i then tried to delete the partition on which vista was still installed (my new partition H drive had 7 installed on it) I was googling stuff online and read that the Boot files had to be copied to the H drive from C drive. I did that and also changed the H drive to Active. I had to restart my computer and upon doing so, i got the error bootmgr missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart. i do that and i get the same error.
I don't even know how i can access either operating system since that error keeps coming up everytime my computer is started. what do i do to get windows up and running again. and i don't have any installation cd of either win 7 or vista (i got a link to download win 7 and vista was pre-installed).
I constantly get this error everytime i try to boot up, i also cannot boot from a recovery disc for some reason as i just get the same error. I've removed the RAM and HDD and put them back but i still get the same.
i just received my sony vaio yesterday installed with windows 7 pro and was charging the laptop and transferring music from my external hard drive. during this time i fell asleep and then woke up with the power to my house out. my laptop started to go through recovery mode and then ran out of battery life. today i charged and turned it on and all it said was bootmgr missing ctrl alt del to restart
when my netbook was returned from the repair shop, my hard drive is already partitioned into two.it's bothering me so i combined them.i searched for it before doing it, its safe they said, just make sure the other drive is empty.it was a success. but after i turned it on again.. an error appeared. BOOTMGR is missingpress ctrl+alt+deletesince i dont have a disk drive 'coz its a netbook.. i have a spare disk of windows 7 starter 32bit.i copied it's contents on my usb.
i have a dell inspiron mini 1012 and every time i turn on my laptop it says BOOTMGR is compressed CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart every time i do that it says the same thing.
I just got a brand new custom built pc. It had Windows 7 home premium before on it, and ran fine. When I put my disc of Windows 7 ultimate, it intsalled and on first boot, just crashed and showed " A disk read error has occured. Press ctrl alt delete to restart"
i am a newbie as far as computer hardware is concerned. after struggling for days to install windows 7 onto my new pc which came without and 0s installed,[code] it list the 465 which i use for storage but the 30gb where the 0s is installed dosent show. surely if the hard drive had a problem the 465gb wouldnt show as it an te 30gb makes up te 500gb? i tried selecting the 465gb volume enter and then exiting diskpart then it says BOOT MGR IS MISSING PRESS CTRL +ALT+DEL TO RESTART..so basiclly i have read almost all forums concerning this and followed most of the steps listed above for however mine says boot manager missing or corrupt, wen ever i run start up repair its says start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically.
I just installed a new window 7 ultimate os to my 32 bit system and I doing something with my disk management. I actually delete the 21mb unallocate space in my disk management. After that I do some my work and browse the internet and shutdown the system but when I again starting my computer. It will nor work only a message appear on screen ...
Boot manager is missing .. Press cltr+altr+del to restart... Again and again only this message ...
I try to go boot manager by pressing f2 ,f12,f8 it it doesn't work, only pressing delete button it shows some options. It try to install a new os but it is not reading my cd/dvd or usb. When it check options it shown a massage that they are disable. Some stuff to enable my usb, dvd port or any way to start my system....
I recently shut my computer down to install some updates. when i restarted, I saw. "BootMGR missing control+alt+del to restart." I put in a repair disk but the computer didn't respond to it. BootMGR missing kept coming up. It doesn't respond to f8 either. Is there a way to fix this? Or should i just suck it up and buy a new hard drive?
i have amd sempron 2600+ with windows xp i install windows 7 till select drive its ok i select c drive to install win 7 i formated c drive & windows start installing suddenly power shut down after nearly 2-3 hours i started my pc it display BOOTMGR IS MISSING i try to recover but the same message is displaying BOOTMGR IS MISSING TO RESTART PRESS CLT+ALT+DELET
Today i restarted my p.c after updating the windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.. but after i restarted it, suddenly the screen went black and this was displayed: "JLPRF is compressed Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart" i followed the command, and every time i did, the p.c restarted and the same message was displayed... i even check the cables,ram and other connection but every thing was fine.. I tried installing the windows again using the DVD, but no use.. The same message was displayed over and over again every time i restarted the rig.. (I never altered any bios setting)
I used the disk clean function and thought I would be saving more space on the drive by checking the compress feature. Now when I boot up, after the Dell window the message shows up on a black screen, like a 'c' prompt screen HTGCM is compressed hit ctrl - alt - del to restart. When I do that just repeats the cycle. How do I get out of that and get the thing to boot up. I tried the boot up disc that the system creates for you and selected each of the options in turn down to the 'system image' one, because I don't have a system image of Windows 7 Ultimate. When I used the restore point, the result was "did not restore completely error# 0x800700b7". I have no original software cd's.
I just got a computer for free, a Dell Studio 1555. When I got it, it would try to boot, then come to a screen that said that bootmgr.exe was missing. Sometimes I got a message that said something like mpio.sys was corrupted or missing. I have a Win 7 disk, so I put it in and tried to repair the installation. Each time I ran it, it said that the repair had failed. I tried to reinstall windows 7, and It made it to the first restart in the process. It showed the "Starting Windows" screen, but the colors of the windows logo never appeared, then I got the missing bootmgr screen. I decided to install Ubuntu and see if that worked, and it did (I installed it alongside the Windows installation). It was Ubuntu 10.04. I thought, "OK, so i'll just use this as a Linux machine"...and I decided to go back and reinstall so that I could use the entire hard drive. It never worked correctly again. Each subsequent time that I installed Ubuntu, I was told something along the lines of "Gnome Power Manager did not install correctly" and got a slow and choppy Ubuntu installation.Tried to install 11.10, and it failed completely. I opened the Ubuntu live from my usb drive, and opened the disk utility. I now cannot format, reformat, partition, or delete partitions on the drive. Is all of this just a case of a hard drive on its last legs, or is there something else going on here?
I am working on a MSI CR620 laptop that is running Win 7 HP x64. On start up it says to press F3 for recovery, I have done that and have gone through the recovery, getting the post that windows has been installed completely, and to press ok to restart, after pressing okay, the computer restarts and I get the "Disk read error, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart again. I have ordered a recovery disk from the manufacturer, but I don't have warm fuzzys that it will correct the issue.
I had Vista 64x and Windows 7 build 7057 set up in a dual boot with Windows 7 on a 30Gb partition.
Acting on advice in another thread I decide to shrink my Vista partition and expand my Windows 7 partition using GParted.
That seemed to go ok and I shrank Vista partition to about 400GB and expanded the Windows 7 partition to about a 100GB.
However, I now cannot boot at all. When I try I get "A disk read error occurred. press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
When I try this nothing happens and I have to do a power shutdown.
I have attempted repairs using my Vista disk and that tells me nothing is wrong. Likewise I tried repair with my Windows 7 disk with the same result. Both tell me that the system booted succesfully.
I then tried reinstalling both Vista and Windows 7 to their respective partitions and I still get no boot and a Disk read error message.
I have been in the BIOS and tried every boot device option but still nowhere.
I'm writing this from the Asus Splashtop OS that came with my mobo. I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but it might just save me now!
I have an Acer Aspire 5732Z here. A friend of mine had a disk in the disk drive and said that he opened the tray and the disk was no longer there, but actually inside the laptop. He managed to get the disk out but it went fully into the laptop. He did all of this while the laptop was still turned on. I dunno whether it turned off itself or he turned it off after that, but now it constantly comes up with A disk error has occured press ctrl + alt + del to restart on boot upI have downloaded ubuntu and placed it on a disk, and booted the disk up using F12, it goes to a purple screen for a bit, then goes to a black screen and doesn't do anything else
I would like to change the wording on the Windows 7 logon page from "PressCTRL+ALT+DELETE to unlock this computer" to "Press CTRL+ALT+INSERT to unlock this computer". My company uses a lot of VMware View desktops and it's tedious to continually inform users of the keystrokes. I have searched through the forums here and cannot find the file that I need to configure. I have downloaded Resource Hacker and love it but I just need the file name.
When I start up my sisters computer I get the disk read error. with ctrl alt and delete to restart. I do this and it goes over and over and over again. if I can restart it to normal I get to own the computer. It is an acer aspire 5750G, windows 7. I cannot get it in safe mode because the error pops up! The computer has been overheated alot, as it turns off pretty quickly!!
The laptop is an HP Mini 1000 running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. It was working fine and I turned it on today and the message: "A disk read error has ocurred Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" appeared on the screen. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del just reboots but the same message appears again. F8 won't get me anywhere. Only F9 (Boot Device Order) and F10 (BIOS settings) are available but don't fix anything. There is no way to make it boot or even get to a repair screen or past it. Any suggestions to make it boot so at least I can get to the data and back it up?
My friend just called me up with the error in the topic title, that happened on his Lenovo G550.I've searched for a solution, but all I've seen is "run a data recovery" or "reinstall Windows 7" type of answers.I wouldn't be comfortable opening his computer up.I'm not sure how I would run recovery mode in BIOS or run a simple check for all the Windows 7 necessary files as it doesn't even boot up. (The error shows and that's about as far as it goes, except for BIOS).
