System Recovery Options - no operating system listed, need to load the drivers, but don't know where to find this (Windows Vista 64-bit)
It is a gateway M6866 laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit.
The computer does not start up--gives "BOOTMRG is missing" error at startup. I'm trying to boot from the 64-bit of Windows Vista recovery disc. I clicked on the "repair your computer" option, and it shows the computer loading files. Then the "System Recovery Options" box appears and asks me to select the operating system to fix it. The problem is that nothing has listed. It is said that if your OS is not listed click Load Drivers. I did, but it is said to insert the device installation media, and then click OK to select the driver. I clicked on OK and then opens a browser window to select the file.
I don't know which file I'm supposed to select here. I searched online for an answer, and someone told him to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the driver for RAID controller. I tried to go to the site of the bridge to find it, but it doesn't seem to be one for Vista 64-bit.
Please please help! I have to at least be able to extract the files to the hard drive before reinstalling windows.
Hello
· Have you Configure RAID on the system?
If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.
Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:
a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.
b. then restart your computer.
c. press a key when you are prompted.
d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext
e. click on repair your computer
f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next
g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt
h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.
· If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.
· If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
i. restart the computer.
For more information, see the article mentioned below.

I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP. I'm pretty stupid on computers and since I'm home linked to diabetic neuropathy, a broken femur that stands with 4 screws a nd a replacement hip and you tell the truth, I don't know what allI must tell you as I said I'm stupid on computers. Please let me know what else, or how I can find something else that you need. Thank you for your help.
Hello
Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
and DVDs and not just play).A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).
Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
or the FRY.This is good, but there are many good brands.

I had a hard drive crash and reinstall Pro XI. When I did that (3 months ago) something must have gone wrong because the program does not print correctly. When I print documents 50 pages, some pages are facing the wrong direction in duplex printing. It's never happened before. So I think I would uninstall and reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I need to know if there is an own uninstall program I should use first.
So my next question is how to reinstall. I start with my Acrobat 9 disk and then what? I am running Windows 7 Professional.
Hello
Please see the link below for the installation.
Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
Hope this will help you.
Kind regards

I need to create a number of documents, but don't know where to start
Hello
I'm working to create documents. These documents have a template of game including space of text and images. These images and the text will change regularly, and sometimes I have to juggle them around.
IE 4 photos corresponding to up to 4 pieces of text on a single page. I get told that I need to insert a new image at the top. That's why I need to go down a level of each item.At the minute I have this in Word, its ok just a lot of time with sizing images, text boxes and move a group of items at once may cause problems.
Is there an advantage to use indesign for this process or another piece of software that would be better.
Thanks for the help
Ryan
Once you have passed the learning curve you'll never redo all layout in Word. ID lets you control 100% placement.
