Windows 7: BOOTMGR is Missing - No DVD/CD

BOOTMGR is Missing - No DVD/CD

So I have been trying, with no luck, to add primary partition my hdd(don't ask why, I tried everything, and it said I only had 1 mb of free space when I have/had over 200 gb). Anyway, I restarted, and now I am getting the BOOTMGR is missing error.



It is a Sony Vaio Windows Premium. It did not come with a MSFT/recovery/Sony, or any type of CD/DVD. I consistently press F8 as I read to enter recovery mode without a disk and I still get the same screen.

What do I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Press the F8 key repeatedly at boot up or use the Startup disk.

Try this:
Startup Repair
Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery

Do you have a mate with Windows 7 & a CD/DVD RE drive?
You then can make the Startup disk
System Repair Disc - Create
Than put on USB Pendrive
USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create

Wow, that was awesome. I created a repair disk from a different computer and it worked. You're a lifesaver.

Thanks

Make sure the Windows 7 HD is detected and set first HD to boot in BIOS setup.

Tap the F8 key to access System Recovery Options, accept any offered repair. If it fails to start boot back in to run Startup Repair repeatedly with reboots.

If you lack a disk it is provided in Step 5 of Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start which includes everything possible to get Windows 7 started.
