Help! Windows 8 bootmgr is missing

Hi guys. I got this error message "BOOTMGR is missing" after restarting my computer. Running on Windows 8 Pro and I know I can use the DVD to make the reapirs, but the problem is my DVD has just shipped out and expecting not to come any time soon this week but I urgently need to use my PC to work on the projects I'm working on that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Ok.. I found myself that my "System Reserved" partition was no longer an active partition so I put it again as active and it's done.

    Hello

    You try to install Windows XP on the computer?

    BootMGR is not part of Windows XP. This is the file of boot loader for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    Method 1:

    If you try to install Windows XP, you can go ahead and try to reinstall Windows XP from the CD and check if that helps.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

    Note: perform a clean install only if you have no data on the hard drive.

  • BootMGR is missing. Help, please!

    My BootMGR is missing when I started my computer Windows Vista Home Premium Zt. I tried to use a recovery disc for Windows Vista, but when I select 'Repair your computer' and I have to choose my operating system. It does not appear and when I click on "Load drivers", I can't find the operating system. Can someone help me please?

    I assume you mean an image full backup.  To restore boot Installation or recovery disk and select restore backup (or something similar to that).  Then you just follow the instructions (make sure your backup device is attached and turned on).  If you use 3rd party software, you will need to consult their manuals for procedures.

    Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • BOOTMGR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete while trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit

    Now that I got my 64-bit Vista in the mail and quickly install disc he jumped in my DVD player. The installation process went well until I was asked to choose which hard drive, I tried to install Vista on. I tried to format my hard drive to this screen, I was working with Vista 32 bit before that and saw no need to divide my two work machine with two separate versions of the same operating system. After formatting the hard drive, I have been unable to click on the 'next' button and engage the next step of the installation process. There was a message is displayed to the bottom of the window, as well tell a word about the installation of a machine already running windows. I would be happy to provide further information to the topic of my problems during this step, but my problems do not stop here.

    After you notice the message described above and do not get farther in attempts to install later, I decided to try to reinstall the 32-bit version of Vista and then maybe try to upgrade to 64-bit. However when I put in the CD at retail, rather than receive messages at the start of a disc, I have met with the harsh reality of "BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart." Since then got trapped in a painful loop switching between disc 32-bit and the 64-bit disk in the hope that it would finally let me begin with him.

    In addition to this logically faulty tactics, I also searched some online solutions. I made sure that my DVD drive is first in my boot order. My computer will not yet make Flex and give me the ability to boot from a disk.

    My question is this; How can I get my computer let me boot from a disc again?

    I will probably also need help to drive problem hard he, but as I can not even in a position to provide information on this issue at the time I need to have the above resolved dilemma first.

  • BootMgr is Missing in Dell Inspiron 14 / Windows 7

    I recently bought an Inspiron 14 x 64 based laptop with Windows 7 64-bit OS (OEM) and receive this msg "BootMgr is Missing".

    1. it was nice at the beginning, but I attribute my hard c: drive partition is only 30 GB and readers logical is 182 GB, so I wanted an increase in C:

    2. through an Internet forum that researching "Partition Wizard Home Edition" downloaded and use it to get to a better score. It was an easy success, quickly my drive c: augmented with my desired size. But it was just a relief to short because I noticed that my IE 8, YM, Windows Media Player, Mc McAfee Security Center and others are not running properly or does not work.

    3. I resorted to a RESET to Factory Settings via a Local DELL backup that comes with my unit. He did pretty good. Everything looked exactly as it was. (I don't have to worry about my files coz I have an external modem to transfer everything)

    4. normal function is there for an hour, but my curiosity I check on disk management and TRADE-IN DRIVE discovered is that active compared to the c: drive before.  I then Mark C:Drive as ACTIVE without knowing my OS is no longer sitting there (I thought).

    5. when I restart, I got BOOTMGR is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    6 and my problem is still not resolved, I tried to use a repair disk that I burned earlier but it does not work as well even if I choose the CD/DVD boot on startup options.

    7. what could be my best solution? My package did not come with a reinstall of Windows 7 DVD drive. My roommate has an Inspiron 1545 with reinstall drive. Can I use it to restart? I'm afraid that it could add up to another problem because it comes from a different model and configuration.

    Pls. extend your help for me to be able to restart and use my new laptop once more. Download reinstall for my Inspiron 14 drive so I can finally get it? I have the serial number and necessary product code that accompanies it.

    I have the same problem and stupidly, I made the same change, I can't boot from the CD, I've tried, the same message appears, any suggestions?

  • BOOTMGR is missing in Windows Server 2008

    Hello world

    One of our SQL servers became completely unresponsive while it was turned off the power.  I know, not exactly the best thing to do, but it was done and the virtual machine being powered, we get an error

    BOOTMGR is missing in Windows Server 2008

    CTRL + Alt + Delete to restart

    I did some research and found a bunch of suggestions to boot from the image of 2008 (which I did) and then use bootmgr or fixmbr / bootrec / etc to restore the operating system.  I was able to open a command prompt, but the C:\ is not available to select and diskpart / volume of the list does not show C: as a volume, so I'm sure that it is not detected.  I don't know why it is, I thought he might have because we use the Type of controller SCSI Paravirtual, but that's just a guess

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  I think it is a question at two levels, detect the C: and then solve the problem of bootmgr.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Thanks AFA.

    Speaking with a friend system administrator, we have established that we had to the SCSI Paravirtual driver (/ vmimages/floppies/pvscsi-Windows2008.flp) so that we can detect drives when starting from the command prompt (I had a feeling that we had to do something like this, but had no idea where the driver). We were able to mount this file on the floppy drive by changing the settings of the virtual machine and then load the driver questioned during the installation of Windows 2008 / repair.

    We were then able to run the following which fixed the problem

    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /rebuildbcd
    x:\sources\recovery\StartRep.exe

    If so, you need to connect your external CD drive with the Windows XP installation disk, turn on the laptop and go to CONFIGURATION and change of boot order, so your latop begins starting the CD player.

  • Reinstall windows vista is "bootmgr is missing ctrl alt delete to continue starting."

    I can go beyond that by F11, but then it gives me an error message and says Setup has been interrupted and reinstall vista.  I did this install partition and backup cd provided at the time of the purchase of the laptop.  any thoughts on how to stop the boot for vista error message will continue to install at the start.

    Thanks to you two.  It is an HP laptop and I first tried to reinstall vista wins from the partition and I got the error.  "I managed to do start to recovery and is Manager went to a command prompt to repair the boot record... but then it wouldn't start windows ' registry system contains invalid paths.  installation cannot continue.  This system image was applied without guranteeing the drive letter assignments would be through computers

    so I ran the Recovery Manager again.  got the bootmgr is missing again.  Re-entered the recovery partition manager obtained a command prompt is bootrec repair.  so started winning again.  then I got this message. "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.  Windows Setup cannot continue. to install windows, click "ok" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation '

    I did and kept getting the bootmgr is missing message crossed the routines above several times always with the same results.  then, I got copies of the recovery cd and went through the process of using them with the same results.  I contacted hp and they say they can solve this problem for a fee because the laptop is no longer under warranty.  Think that if I obtained a copy of the cd vista Home premium and I tried the recovery that would solve the problem?  or would I be better just let hp fix?

    Once again, thank you Michel and Lorien you thoughts and input.

    "so I got copies of the recovery cd and went through the process of using them with the same results.

    You say that you already have the correct recovery disks for your modal HP; and they do not work.

    Let HP to fix it.

    You can try this and if it does NOT, go with HP way to fix it.

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Cannot connect to Windows 7 and after stabilizing off (cold boot), got a message bootmgr is missing.

    I went ahead and shut down my computer last night as I do every night. When I got home and turned on, I got a message to connect. I've never had to do before. It's a desktop pc. I use my laptop for that. Then when I turned it off (cold boot), after that, I got a message saying that the bootmgr is missing. Then, after that, I had no choice but to do a system restore. I found one of my Seagate external drive, which took most of my info on (until it became full and I could save is nothing else). So, after I recover most of the important things, I'll buy another external hard drive to back up my info, I should have backed up before. I must have got a virus. I don't know how, if.

    Hi Dotty,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The description of the question, I understand you are facing a problem with Windows 7 login and you also mentioned that, when you have disabled (cold boot), you got a message bootmgr is missing.

    I appreciate if you could answer a few questions.

    1. What is the model of your computer?

    2. don't you make changes before this problem?

    3. you have backup DVD for Windows 7?

    The most common reason for BOOTMGR is missing include boot, responsible for the initialization of the operating system are either corrupt or missing. Another reason is that if the computer is trying to boot from a hard drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly.

    I suggest you follow the methods provided on the KB article below and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Windows Vista error - first of all 'Operting System' could not be found and now "BOOTMGR is missing?

    Hello

    I am using Toshiba Satellite M300 loaded with Win Vista 32 bit form three last year, but today, when I take my laptop from sleep mode, take a lot of time to resume and then hanged. So, I decided to put it off and start it again. On the Welcome screen. It displays the message "The operating system not found" and also began a sound whenever I press any key.

    Then I inserted win Vista DVD for system recovery and it does well and confirm to reboot the computer. Turning it back on, it still shows the same message. I repeated this action 3 times and got the same message. I generally save my data on an external hard drive that I decided to delete all data on the thought of portable hard drive of some viruses has blocked the operating system back if I use AVG 2011 to protect my local data.
    Finally, after a few hours of the deletion of all data on the drive and I finally again restart the laptop with another error message, but this time, it is "BOOTMGR is missing" and that little gob smacking me. I think I've also cleaned the win vista my drive or not... but I confused now and looking for suggestions to move me to the right path.
