    BIOS Boot loop, error when I try to re-install


    Hello all,

    I have a laptop with Win7 x64, I re-partitioned my drive in Disk Management (shrink) and now my system won't boot.

    Here is what happens:

    1. Acer Splash Screen
    2. Small blinking cursor.
    3. Rinse, repeat (Acer screen again!)

    When I try to boot from Win7 DVD, I get CDBOOT: Could not find BOOTMGR.
    Please help,

    Dakota (aka Dlist)

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows may be helpful.
