    CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR


    Just tried reinstalling and lm getting "CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR" which lm very confused about.

    my specs should be as stated in my profile.

    lm not exactly having any system problems as such just a minor freeze on closing Firefox but since its been a year l thought it was time for some early spring cleaning, lve also not seen any BSODs either.

    lve looked around and tired one or two things, like changing boot priority etc and using a PS2 keyboard but l still get the error.. nothing whatsoever has changed since install apart from that its now a year old, lm even using the same backup disk, lm just wondering if there is anything lm missing because this issue is really confusing me

    Here if you wish to try this first.
    Startup Repair

    Restore MBR.
    MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

    One of those may help.

    1) Try Cleaning the Windows 7 Installation DVD.
    2) try cleaning the DVD drive.
    3) If you have a spare DVD drive, try with spare drive.
    4) If you downloaded the ISO, try reburning.

    First step in tutorial Insert the Disk.
    MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

    1. Boot your computer to the Windows 7 DVD (or to a "Repair CD"). At this screen choose to install now.

    In the Note you can use the disk.
    Startup Repair
    Note
    Startup Repair is located on the System Recovery Options menu, which is on the Windows 7 installation disc. If your computer manufacturer (OEM) has preinstalled recovery options, Startup Repair might also be installed on your hard disk. If your computer does not include Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer (OEM) might have customized or replaced the tool. Check the information that came with your computer or go to the manufacturer's website.
