Another Missing Bootmgr FUBAR
When starting the Win 7 PC I get the Bootmgr is missing. Press ctl, yadda, yadda, yadda.
It's an HP Pavilion All in One machine, and I can't get the F11 for restore or F9 for Diagnostics to work - it just ignores my input and gives me the bootmgr msg.
When I boot using a Windows 7 CD and select repair it takes me to the System Recovery Options screen, but no OS is listed, and as soon as I move the mouse pointer inside the box (to select Next or Load drivers), I get the little blue circle rotating clockwise. It's been rotating this last time for over an hour. I keep trying, expecting a different result (is that not the definition of 'insanity'?), but it never varies - no Operating System, and it won't let me do anything but press the power button.
