    "BOOTMGR is Missing"


    Hi, so here's the case. I know there has been a lot of threads about this but I think I know why this happened but I don't know how to fix it.

    So okay, here's what happened:

    Recently, I upgraded my OS from Windows XP to Windows 7 Ultimate. However my Windows XP is in Local Disk C: while my Windows 7 is in Local Disk D:. Ever since, I had a dual boot menu at startup. Since I don't plan on ever using my Windows XP, I tried formatting Local Disk C: but it won't let me. So, since i need memory, I decided to delete the files individually including its BOOT folder. It was working until it restarted and told me that BOOTMGR is missing. any hints?

    PS: i don't have my windows 7 installer anymore since the CD broke. though I have copy in a USB.

    You couldn't delete it because bootmgr and bootmenu were on winxp partition!
    do this : Partition - Mark as Active METHOD 2
    so mark the WIN7 partition as active

    Now do Startup Repair

       Tip
    Sometimes it may take running a startup repair (3) separate times with restarting the computer after each time before it fully fixes the startup issue.

    Follow the tutorial which I listed first, and then we will show you how to make the Windows 7 partition as active.

    Alternatively, since you only want the Windows 7 operating system, then you could also do a complete reinstall of the operating system and reformat the hard-drive(s).

    You said you had the Windows 7 stored on a USB drive, therefore you can burn the OS onto a DVD using a different computer if available.

    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    The first few steps will allow you boot from the USB drive, and then perform a Repair Install.

    Hope this helps,
