Tried to install windows 7 and during the installation it failed and when it restarted my laptop it came up bootmgr miss press ctrl + alt + del to restart.
Now I formatted my hard drive before I installed it and I kept the disc in after restarting and everytime I turn on my laptop it comes up bootmgr missing press ctrl alt del to restart.
It wont even read the disc now to install and there is nothing on the hard drive so it just keeps going to the same screen.
We used a vbscript in the past to add to shared printers which worked great in XP, however that same vbscript is very hit and miss in a domain environment whereby sometimes printers map, sometimes they don't.
So i moved to using Group Policy Preferences, and that killed the logon speed, the duration is as much as 5-6 minutes to logon.
i changed the OS of my laptop from windows7 starter to windows ultimate x64. but i cant connect my laptop to the internet. some drivers are missing. {2 BASE SYSTEM DEVICE DRIVER missing, ETHERNET CONTROLLER DRIVER missing, NETWORK CONTROLLER and VIDEO CONTROLLER DRIVER is also missing.} solve this?i tried to install the ethermet driver i downloaded. but it always shows this error " error:failed to install, no device driver is present to your computer"
I have my brothers laptop and the laptop is sitting at BOOTMGR is missing, I can get into BIOS. It will not see recovery disk and will not go into safe mode!!!
It is set to boot from CD Rom but does not see the recovery disc. Is there anything that I can do? As I am now stuck
My husband's comp crashed...he had Win7 Os. Recovery did not work! I tried to reintall Win7 got as far as formatting the hard drive. I then reinserted the cd to reinstall and now all I get as far as "Press any key..." I press a key and "BOOTMGR MISSING" press ctrl + alt + del to restart. Of course this doesn't work.I have reset the bios so that cd-rom is the only bootable device. It will not move from the bootmgr missing screen. The cd is a legal bootable copy, the hard drive and dvd player work I have tried them in another comp.System Configuration[CODE]
computer froze up...tried to restore system at three different restore points and was unsuccessful...Then tried to recover to factory settings which was also unsuccessful...According to HP the factory settings are corrupted....Cannot boot the system because the BOOT MGR is wiped out...Computer is dead in the water....Suspect computer virus that caused the system to freeze up.
I'm currently stuck on this issue, while trying to solve another computer problem (as addressed in thread:I guess I botched it somewhere and I just get the bootmgr is missing message. [CODE]
Her computer is an HP laptop it is runnung windows 7 . I have created the recovery disk( 32 bit) from online as that is what most sites said to do. After it said it was loading the windows files I clicked next. Then it said system recovery options.In the box it says (recovered) 292135 MB (d Local Disk. It is checked on use recovery tool taht can help fix problems starting windows. I click next. I get a pop up that says this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair,So then I made the 64 bit recovery disk & restarted. I was unsure if it was 64 bit or 32 bit to start.
First off, why is reinstalling windows 7 such a pita? I've done it several times and it's soooooooo bad. With that aside, tonight I was attempting to reinstall 64 bit from 32 bit. I reformatted my hd using dos because advanced recovery simple does not work. After formatting and restarting I'm getting te bootmgr error. After reading countless threads with fixes nothing is helping. I CANNOT get past this error. I have the disc in, it won't go past the error. Pushing f2, f8, and f12 does not work. I can't do anything in the bios. Most of the solutions simply assume you can get PAST the error.
The next step I tried was unplugging the hd I formatted and installing to a different hd. This gives me an error of missing a device required. At this point I have no idea what to do besides maybe reformatting the hd again using another pc. Is there a recovery program I should dl to a blank cd?
i make the partition as active by going to computer managment-> disk management got this popup message, Only make a partition as active if it contains a functioning operating system. If the partition lacks an operating system. marking it active might cause your computer to stop working. Do you want to continue?
I was cleaning up some unwanted files on my computer and I decided to compress the drive then undo it after but I forgot to undo it :| I've looked everywhere and it says that I need a CD and sadly I don't have one. I then downloaded the recovery files from neosmart but I found out my computer won't read any CD's or DVD's and the USB method didn't work for me. I am also unable to go into the advanced boot options no matter how much I try.
ago i tested a Activator program on my temporary OS (im planing to install a genuine version next week) but when i reboot my screen displayed 'BOOTMGR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart'. So i follow the instruction but my laptop will always display the same message over and over again. I found at the net that i need to repair install but my iso was on the OS and i cant even get them (no disk drive so im using usb).How can i fix this cuz i need to use my pc on Friday?
I have a very big problem with my reinstall of Windows 7 Pro. I have now lost the bootmgr and am not able to "see" my SSD. Ouch! I searched the forum for my error: 0x800704f and couldn't find it nor could I get to see my SSD and am therefore not able to use the tutorial to "get it back." Well, I am at a loss at this point. I was originally trying a fresh install of Windows 7 pro. But, just prior, I got an error box that the Catalyst Control Center was not working properly(or something like that). But, when after all my efforts seemed to take me further down the rabbit hole. I concluded that I must post this thread!I built it myself and know just enough to make me dangerous!
I'm having a few issues with images for Windows 7. I've been working with Vista images for the past few years without any problems but following the same procedure with Windows 7 doesn't seem to work for me.
To begin with I install the machine like normal, add in all of the software and then disable the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and sysprep the machine. After I boot using Win PE and capture an image once I try applying it the image fails, saying the the bootmgr is missing.
I can fix this by booting to a windows 7 dvd and run two repairs but would prefer if this didn't happen at all...
i had an unexpected shutdown, i tried to reinstall the windows 7 as it wasnt working. i formated the partition that the operating system was on, but then was unable to install the new OS.
it wont let me delete partitions or create new ones.now everytime i start the computer it is missing bootmgr.ive tried unclicking the hard drive cables which gets me into the repairing windows bit. but this doesnt help as i deleted the OS.
Installed Windows 7 onto C: (after XP) and am using E: to store all music, movies and photos. The problem is, I'm running out of space and I need to get rid of XP to use the rest of my 320GB. But all the boot stuff is on the XP drive. I have to point my BIOS to XP which then shows a menu with 'Windows 7' and 'An Earlier Version Of Windows'. If I was to format the XP drive now my Windows 7 drive wouldn't boot. I know this because when I point my BIOS to load from the Windows 7 HDD, it says MISSING NTLDR. I thought this was a file that was used before and up to XP so I don't know why Windows 7 wants it.
The problem with this is that I don't know how to get the programs back into the registry. I could back it all up and import it again but I'm sure there'd be something to do with boot, which would cause my new Windows 7 to not boot. I wouldn't like to re-install everything on HDD since I have filled 160GB with programs. If it's neccassary I could do it as I keep every file I download in a single folder that is so big it can take minutes for windows to count :P (I don't keep replicas of the same stuff so if something is in a rar file then i will keep either the inside of it or keep the rar file, thats a bit off-topic.
with bootmgr is missin i have two partitaion one has windows 7 64x and other windows xp sp3 32bit. I can only go to windows xp (i am in it atm) if i choose windows 7 it say error BOOTMGR is missing . I am very newbie at this stuf
I bought new pc today,it doesnt have any operating system installed,and i want to install windows 7.First i start the installing progress and it pops out error on 89 %.i try again,but then theres bootmgr is missing error,so i dont get even that far.half the time it gives me bootmgr error and half the time stops on 89 % with error that says that specified files are not reachable or somthing like that.
Alright so I guess I have a bit of an issue. I had Vista installed on a 300GB harddrive, but I got a new harddrive and moved Vista over to that. Unfortunately I never actually reformated the 300GB hard drive so the bootmgr stayed there but was unused. With the new Vista it started a new bootmgr and is now the default bootmgr. Then I installed Windows 7 and that started a new bootmgr. But the BIOS still selects the Vista bootmgr and so I just added Windows 7 to that one. Except now I want to delete the Vista Bootmgr and the 300GB unused bootmgr and use the Windows 7 bootmgr. The Vista bootmgr no longer works for Windows 7 (Vista cannot correctly find the Windows 7 partition because it is set to the G: partition, but the Windows 7 windows folder is in S
I know I can delete the bootmgrs on the inactive drives, except I don't want to because I have no way of booting to the Windows 7 bootmgr. (Default boots to Vista, which would be gone, and using the Windows 7 DVD to boot uses the 300GB worthless bootmgr) If I use the Windows 7 DVD to repair the startup would it create a new bootmgr in the place of the two I delete or would it find the Windows 7 bootmgr and use that?
I'll be working on this for about another hour but if nothing works I'm nuking all three bootmgrs and rebuilding the bootmgr.
Update: Alright I've managed to get all the bootmgrs exactly the same so that everything boots correctly, however I still want to make the computer use the bootmgr on the 55GB Windows 7 drive because it is a 10,000RPM Raptor.
So, i've got a big problem. Yesterday, I tried to reinstall my windows 7 starter on my Acer Aspyre One AOA 150. I wanted to delete everything from HDD, but after, when I trying to restart, I meet this nice characters: BootMgr is compressed. I read a lot of informations in this forum, but I can't solved this problem.I prepared a bootable HDD from my TOSHIBA, and I changed the first boot to the USB HDD ( I don't know why can't I boot from SDD card.. ). When the boot is starting, it took a few seconds, and BootMgr is compressed, Without bootable HDD, the Windows Boot Mgr wrote: The windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid os entry.
I have just bought a new laptop and also installed a new 256gb SSD... I have just used Norton Ghost and copied the Windows 7 64 bit OS from the HDD direct to SSD.
I chnaged the proity boot sequence in the BIOS to SSD but get BOOTMGR is missing error...
Ghost doesnt seem to assist you with boot issues just the copying..
i had vista ultimate i got formated as i was installing windows 7 . an error occurred saying some file was missing or corrupt . now i hav no OS n my laptop wont start . now when i put vista or windows 7 dvd it says bootmgr is missing . how do i fix this problem and install an OS .
I installed Win 7 Pro 64 bits for my computer, and Win 7 Home Premium 32 bits for my dad's one.
On this last one (old P4, LGA 775, P965 Express), I have a systematic issue at startup:
The system won't boot, unless the original Win 7 DVD is in the tray and the bios set up for DVD boot first.
What is odd, is that: the data on disc is not read (I don't touch anything at the message "click Enter to start from DVD Rom") => the disc is spinning but I know I'm actually booting from the HD The disc can be removed once logged in I tried to use the repair function on the DVD to check the boot sector with no luck...
I didn't install yet all the MB (Chipset, Sata...) drivers... 'cause I thought such an old hardware would be allready included in the Win 7 drivers. Could it be this problem ?
So I just bought a new desktop, preloaded with Vista but that came with a Windows 7 upgrade disk. Having installed Windows 7 in a partition (D i then decided to make the partition which i'd installed it to active in my attempts to delete the vista partition and extend the Windows 7 one.
However, the first boot up afterwards led me to the message 'BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart'. I only have a Windows 7 upgrade disk which it won't boot from and I've tried pressing F8 to get to the Advanced Boot Options screen but that won't work either.
I got this Dell Inspiron mini 10 with formatted C drive. There is a system-recover partition over 7 gb. Recovery ran and done really quick like within a minute. After that I am getting Bootmgr is missing error. Tried a fresh Win7 install from usb and getting Windows Boot Manager error saying to fix the boot manager. However the usb boots fine on the pc. I did install win7 from usb many times so I know the usb is fine. Dont have a optical drive so no suggestions for that please . Just wanna boot the usb and install win7
I am getting the message bootmgr not found when I start my computer. So I tried using the repair disk and changed the boot sequence in the bios to boot from cd rom first. I also made a bootable usb drive and both will not work. So it connected the drive to my laptop by usb and booted into repair mode. Everything was going well. I did the first two bootrec commands and it said done. the last command I did was the bootrec /RebuildBcd command and it found two installations. I got so excited that I answered yes to both answers. This now has messed up my laptop as well.
Bootmgr not found when I start my computer. So I tried using the repair disk and changed the boot sequence in the bios to boot from cd rom first.i boot the laptop without the usb harddrive attached it says device not attached needed to boot. If I attach it and boot it goes into a diag boot loop
Ok, I am running a version of windows 7 pro on a pc that I just built... I have an ssd and an hdd in the machine and I loaded windows onto the ssd... Everything was working fine until I tried to get the hard drive to show up on the system... I made it available and that all worked but unknowingly I marked it as active and the primary partition even thought this disk had no operating installed... I tuned off my pc and now when I turn it on with ssd in side it says BOOTMGR is missing.
