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...

Unfortunately that did not help... I even tried to disconnect all other disks as well so that the only disk in the computer was the one with Windows 7 on it.

I'm still stuck

Unfortunately I'm unable to enter the Command Promt of the System Recovery. When I press Reapir system I get a message saying:

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.

That happens with all, or only one HD in the system.

Randomly I do get into the command propt yesterday, but after three hours of restarting this morning I only get the Wrong Windows Error above...

Quite sure its 64bit yes...

Hi Kaktussoft,

I'm sorry, but I do not fully understand what to do...

I was able to open the command prompt using Shift-F10. Thank you. However now I'm unsure what you want me to do..?

Initially it sais:

X:\Sources

So I type (is that what you mean?)

dir c:\

c was the drive I installed Windows 7 on.

The following message appears:

Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial Number is xxxxxxxxx
Directory of c:\

all my folders on drive C and BCD_Backup and then it returns to

X:\Sources

Now I'm very unsure what you mean by the next part. So I try typing diskpart first.

DISKPART>

appears

Next I type

List part

"There is no disk selected to list partitions. Select a disk and try again"

What do I type exactly?
