Missing BOOTMGR
Hi,
I reinstalled Windows 7 (x64) a couple of weeks ago. After a couple of days, during a normal boot up, I got this message (see title). Following the instructions I found on some site, I ran "bootrec /fixboot" and it solved my problem.
Yesterday, I was watching a video on YouTube.com, and the computer froze! I used the reset button, and upon boot up I got this message again. I went into Windows' installation CD again, ran "bootrec /fixboot", rebooted, and still got the error!
I can't try the "automatic repair" feature because when I select my installation, I get an error: "System Recovery Option is not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair".
I've tried:
- bootrec /FixMbr
- bootrec /FixBoot
- bootrec /RebuildBcd
All without success. Note that when I run "bootrec /RebuildBcd" for the first time, it detects 0 Windows installations, so I do this:
1) bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
2) ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
3) bootrec /rebuildbcd
And the second time it runs, it my Windows installation, and I add it to the BCD store. However, if I execute "bootrec /rebuildbcd" for a third time, immediately after, it already does not detect any Windows installation...
I hope someone can help me out, I know my way around computers, but not really around Windows (mostly Linux, and some Mac), so I'm really lost when it comes to Windows' lower levels... :)
Thanks in advance!
