BOOTMGR fixes fail
Hi
I have a brand new PC with an ASUS P9X79 motherboard and two harddisks C: and D: with Windows 7 on the C: disk.
My previous PC was a Dell laptop and I was assured I could insert the harddisk (running Windows Vista) from that computer, format it and have a third harddisk. So that's what I've done this evening...
Complete fail...
After entering the Diskmanager I formatted the new F: disk and restarted the computer.
The following message appears:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
Now I search for help on the internet and find various ways to fix this.
My first problem starts when I've run the Windows 7 install CD and tells the system to Repair my system. I then get the following message:
This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disk that is compatible with this version of Windows.
Ok - so now I do not get any further
For some reason however I have a couple of times not seen this message and instead being shown the next page where I first tried to repar the system automatically. No luck with that...
The next time I came to the System Recovery Options (I do not know what I do, if I do anything. Most of the time the "not compatible version" error message appears) I entered the Command Prompt and wrote
bootrec /rebuildbcd
I can't remember what happens but it does not fix the problem. So the next time I write the following (found on a Norwegian help forum):
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
ren C:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd
"The operation completed successfully" message appears, I restart and no joy:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I really hope you can help me with this problem! Please...
