• Missing Boot Manager and no disc

  We have windows vista and recently my husbands computer stopped working. It turns on and starts to load but then says missing Boot Manager. We got our computers through our College and don't have the startup disk or recovery disk. We do not know what to do. I know that this seems to be a common problem with an easy solution... IF you have the rcovery disc. SO my question is how do solve us our problem without the disc? Someone please help us. We need our computer for school. Thanks in advance.

  1. try to make a record of BootableRepair.

  2 borrow a good Vista DVD.

  3. get recovery in any case discs.

  Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or 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

• ADVENT 9115 recovery disk works do not (missing Boot Manager)

  Hi guys have a problem created a recovery disc on my laptop Advent 9115 via the Techguys application on the model to create the disc that came with the laptop PRE-INSTALLED. When I originally created the disc, it does not create it was the 3rd disc that actually created the disc with no errors.so when I tried to test and use the drive, it worked fine at first, but after you have reinstalled windows and begins to restart it gives the error message START MANAGER is missing... Any solution without seeking a new advent because its all through the techguys you buy media recovery for this and the control scheme does not work for me and it is 01:50 English book a min for phone... email response is not a great way to talk to them it's like an automated response message.

  You should contact the technical support http://www.adventcomputers.com/contact-us.php or http://www.adventspares.co.uk/ advent if it's ADVENT computers to the United Kingdom for assistance in their recovery process - it is them and not Microsoft.  Each manufacturer is different things and we don't have access to information in order to help in their recovery process.

  I'm sorry, we can not be more help, but we simply do not have information to do it correctly.  I'm afraid you need to discuss with the advent no matter how this process can be difficult.

  If it were a normal installation of Vista using a real disc for Installation of Vista, I recommend the following:

  ·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (but I guess that this program is not about recovering didk you and so you probably can not try this):

  1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  2. press a key when you are prompted.

  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  4. click on repair your computer.

  5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  ·        c:

  ·        Boot CD

  ·        BCD attrib s h - r

  ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  If the above doesn't work not or you do not have the disk, download and try to use EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 to see if he can fix the startup problem.

  But the sad truth is that I don't know if procedures thisse will work with your recovery system (especially since it is not working properly).  You really need to talk to the advent of this problem and get them to help you solve it.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• How can I get a Windows 95 boot mgr? My drive is installed windows 95, but I get missing boot mgr.

  I am trying to put windows 95 on my G: drive so that I can have two boot options one running Windows 7 Edition home premium and the other on a disk separate to run older games. When I try to boot from my drive G: I get "boot mgr missing" How do I get Windows 95 running?

• After "Missing Boot Manager" with low RAM problems

  I woke up randomly a few weeks ago my computer, sitting on a black screen with the error ' BOOT MNGR MISSING, IMPOSSIBLE TO BOOT. PRESS CTRL + ALT + DEL TO THE RETSTART'.

  I have no idea what caused it, it seemed completely random. After some googling I found that I just need to insert my windows disk and restore, which I did and was able to start properly.

  However, since then, if I have more than ~ 10 tabs open in Chrome and XBMC running that I often an error popping up telling me that my computer is low on memory and that I should close Chrome or XBMC (it varies). This also seems to be correlated with the tabs in Chrome crashing. I seem to have a limit of about 10 tabs, after that each new tab page crashes.

  I have 4 GB of memory of decent quality and before that I never had memory problems of low.

  Below is a screenshot of my resource manager. It shows when I open I use about 70% of my RAM.

  "Windows correctly diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs use the most virtual memory: chrome.exe (4784) consumed bytes 351731712, chrome.exe (4252) consumed bytes 330465280 and XBMC.exe (1392) consumed bytes 237559808. »

  You have a configuration of Page file (virtual memory)?
  If you don't know how this is going to.
  Control Panel > system > advanced system settings > Performance > advanced >
  Virtual memory and select managed system, or choose a number like, say
  4096 MB (4 GB), or 6144 MB (6 GB) for the minimum and maximum.

  "I seem to just be able to use about 75% of my RAM."
  If you are using 32 bit Win7 that about 75% of you RAM is accessible - 3.25 GB
  all 32-bit operating systems can access.
  If you have 64-bit Win7 is probably not so much a matter of not being able to, just that it is not required by, or used by, the software you use, but the software (Chrome) do we file Page, and RAM.

• Console recovery, missing boot selection - Recovery Console is installed, but the reference is missing in boot.ini

  Console original title: absent the selection of reboot recovery

  I am running winxp pro, ie8 on a Dell computer. I installed my reinstallation cd recovery console. He was here for a few days, but I don't the had not yet used. While I was checking my msconfig startup items, there is a tab with a box boot.ini file to check all boot paths. I did, and a msg came say that a console rec path was invalid I wanted to remove it. So I checked yes. And now, I don't have the option to go to the recovery console. It is still there or did I wipe it with a deletion? Thanks in advance for any help.

  Good - then you must make your boot.ini file looks similar to the example above by adding this line to the bottom of your boot.ini file (that's all one line):

  C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT. DAT = "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" cmdcons

  When XP see these two options (and if the folders really exist), it will prompt you for timeout seconds to choose one and then if you do nothing, it will take one.

  The stuff between the quotation marks double is just the guest XP offers you on screen when it is booting, you can change it to anything you want:

  Of this:

  "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"

  to do this:

  "Elizabeth XP system.

  Being generally impatient, I I would like to change the timeout = 30 to timeout = 5 or timeout = 3 and regular XP will start in the time-out period, unless you choose the Recovery Console before the time-out period.

  In one XP installation partition, really same useless file boot.ini to boot.  XP will complain if there isn't one, but also to start very well the first XP partition it finds.

  You can also adjust the boot.ini by right-clicking station work, properties, Advanced tab, startup and recovery, settings...

  To be really accurate, you might do the properties of the file c:\boot.ini hidden and read-only (this is the default).

  Average BCD Boot Configuration data

  Then I try my best to make all step of microsoft, I found, but does not not so far and I don't know how I can fix this problem can someone help me please?

  First of all, you have to work to Win 7. My problem was on a desktop, not a laptop. I also assume that you do not have many HD with dual-boot OS partitions. Just reconfigure your hardware & BIOS to the same thing when you installed Win 7 work. If it works, then perform the utility thing.

  I use VistaBootPro to the BCD but try checking on Easy BCD (its free). Start loading changed with Vista. I think that his startup loading posing problem. For a disk bootable for the restoration of files, I use Paragon Hd Mgr, but you can find some freebees with searches on the web.

• HP Envy Rove: Boot with MBR instead of EFI without removing the GPT partitions

  Hello

  I activated the Legacy Startup Mode in the Configuration of the UEFI and I would how I can give greater priority to the Legacy boot (boot MBR) vs the EFI Boot.

  I mean, how do I start using the MBR without destroying GPT partitions or files EFI?

  I don't have an option in the BIOS to select the 'priority '.

  I have the BIOS with the e.17 Rev.A (latest) firmware

  Thank you.

  Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
  Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

  If I understand correctly you want to use the trunk legacy rather than the UEFI boot, before getting into the details, however,

  Here is the difference between Boot EFI and start-up of the legacy
  
  This is the process used by the firmware to find the target of starting:
  
  Legacy boot is used by the firmware BIOS boot process.
  The firmware keeps a list of installed storage devices can be bootable (Floppy Disk Drives, hard drives, optical drives, tape drives, etc.) and list them in a configurable priority. the POST procedure has finished, the firmware loads the first sector of each target of memory storage and it scans for a valid Master Boot Record (MBR). If a valid MBR is found, the firmware passes execution of code found in the MBR, bootloader that allows the user to select a partition to boot from. If we don't get, it proceeds to the following equipment in the boot order. If no MBR is found at all, the user is presented with the famous "Please insert system disk".
  
  UEFI boot is used by the UEFI firmware boot process.
  Firmware maintains a list of volumes of valid boot called EFI Service of Partitions. During the POST firmware procedure UEFI scans all bootable storage devices that are connected to the system for a valid GPT GUID Partition Table (). Unlike a MBR, a GPT does not contain a boot loader. The firmware itself scanning the closure for a score of Service EFI to boot from. If no boot EFI partition is found, the firmware can fall back on the boot of the legacy method. If boot UEFI and legacy boot fail, the famous "Insert system disk" will be presented.
  
  In general, the UEFI boot is more desirable.

• Windows 8 will not mistake The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

  Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8, and although using it was confusing I got the hang of it. Today, I used the computer again and everything was fine but then I stopped him and a few hours later, when I turned it on a blue screen appeared and he says:

  Recovery
  Your PC needs to be repaired
  The Boot Configuration data file is missing some information required.
  Leader: \Boot\0xc000000d
  OT: After victory. Download 8 it won't launch
  I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it. Any help to help me understand and solve this problem would be appreciated.

  Met the same question from one day to the other - re install Win 8< week="" old="" decided="" to="" misbehave="" on="" a="" reboot.="" nothing="" untoward="">

  In any case discovered that the automatic startup repair is less useless for me. He could not fix anything whatsoever after the diagnosis and just gave up.

  However, resort to repair (start your windows installation CD) command line prompt, I managed to solve it with the command of the ffg on the command line.

  Bootrec /rebuildbcd

  More info about bootrec available using your favorite search engine.

  for example, this site was useful for me

  http://superuser.com/questions/451277/missing-boot-files-in-Windows-8

  For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

  With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.

• Windows 7 partitions - BASIC MBR

  Hello world

  I have HP Pavilion dv6 laptop running Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS. I have the 1 TB harddrive with 4 primary partitions already configured by the manufacturer HP. (attached my details of screenshot of the DISC).

  I want to install Fedora LINUX, so eager to create another partition. But my BASIC MBR disk and it evolves to dynamic if I try to create another partition. I Googled it and found my BASIC MBR disk that is limited to having only 4 primary partitions. I searched a few partition tools that can convert basic MBR disk to GPT and tried. After his conversion, if I log into windows 7, but my recovery of HP (F11) at the startup does not work and gives the error message: BOOT/BCD missing. Trying to recover, I some how messed up my login windows 7 as well on the rise. Yet once installed everything using disks of Windows 7 (called and ordered from HP support).

  I tried to convert disks many times and can't get it worked (both Windows 7 and HP recovery) @ start upward. I'm very tired, installation of windows 7 as many times. Please suggest me something to install FEDORA LINUX in a separate partition. Basically, I want to know if I can create more partitions in disk MBR BASIC.

  Help, please. Thanks in advance. I'm not very good at English, please bare with me

  Problem Sovled. No need to convert it to a GPT disk. Here is the solution.

  I converted my C:\ in drive logical and shrunk to recover some unallocated SPACE (50 GB). I installed FEDORA LINUX in unallocated space without installing the BOOT loader and the bootstrapper to in windows 7 using EASYBCD 2.2. It worked. Yes... !!!

  Steps followed:

  1. install MINITOOL PARTITION.
  Free software free download Magic Partition Manager, partition, partition magic, partition magic Windows 7 and server software partition - Partition Wizard online

  2 convert C: / primary to Logical drive using MiniTool Partition Wizard.

  3. reboot and check that your windows 7 and HP recovery tools work correctly.

  4 reduce C:\ volume to unallocated space

  5. install LINUX FEDORA 20 space unallocated by using Live USB

  6. in the installation, primer to remove, there is an option to choose 'do not install boot loader' storage configuration stage. I did it because as my previous installation of Fedora messed my windows startup configuration 7 and I wasn't able to boot windows 7, which is throwing an error "file missing" Boot/BCD.

  7. once the installation is complete, restart and it wil start automatically in on Windows 7 as it has not installed the bootloader in Fedora.

  8. install EASYBCD 2.2

  9. in the LINE add, NeoGrub install bootloader and click Configure. In the note pad file, just get the content below. You just need to identify your drive root and boot partition numbers.

  # NeoSmart NeoGrub bootloader Configuration file
  #
  # This is the configuration file NeoGrub and should be placed at the C:\NST\menu.lst
  # Please see the EasyBCD Documentation for more information on how to create/change entries:
  # http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/

  10. restart the PC, you all ready for departure. Yes...!
