bootmgr problem, system working with win7 DVD

Yoknee said:

G´day. Been reading and installing tools etc. found on this forum in the attempt to fix my win7 install.

I hade XP installed and cleaned it out of the C:drive before installing win7.
I moved all my important data to E: drive that is a different HD.

C: & D: drives are on the same HD as partitons. D: drive I delated all data.

In bios I have the 1st boot as DVD, coz thats the only way to get win7 running.
I get the bootmgr missing message otherwise.

Ive tryed the command prompt to copy the bootmgr from the DVD to the C: dirve but it wont let me.

I dl´d the EasyBCD tool to attempt to copy the boot file to C:drive but that didnt work either.
I dl´d the partiton Wizard but chickened out on an attempt with that.

Was a bit puzzeled having a bootmgr file in the D: drive, so delated that as win7 is installed in the C: drive.
Im new at this, so all help is apreachiated, only please make it simple so i understand, thanks.

ive attached the diskmgmt.msc picture to show whats in.
system specs edited in bio.

In "disk management" screenshot I see that E is marked active(?) Is that right because I don't understand your language! Is C also marked active?

So if you have the DVD loaded and you get the prompt "press any key to load from cd/dvd" (or something like that), you don't press a key and win7 boots succesfully? is that what happens?

E is marked "Working, logical drive"
C and D are marked "actiive"

Is bootmenu on D or C?
in Elevated Command Prompt

bcdedit

Now you see something like this

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit
Windows-opstartbeheer
---------------------
id {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
path \bootmgr
description Windows Boot Manager
locale nl-NL
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {fa1a7f9d-ab26-11df-bc4f-ce7145d50d35}
displayorder {current}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 10

What is listed after device (marked red)?

In screenshot I see D as primary and active I assume(?) So it's not the boot drive. Mark it inactive!

Partition - Mark as Active
Use diskpart in elevated command prompt . In step 6 type inactive instead of active.

done?
