dreaded bootmgr missing error ~ i needs help!hey
hi everyone, this is my last attempt @ trying to fix this before my head explodes. here's my situation:
Im trying to do a FRESH install of win7 pro 64bit onto a BRAND NEW wd 1tb harddrive I recently purchased, my last one pooped out on me. so the very first attempt to boot up and install with my dvd (legit copy from windows) I get this error BOOTMGR NOT FOUND, ctr alt del to restart, this is right after the BIOS access page, windows doesn't even begin to load.
after a few attempts of messing with stuff I looked it up on many different forums, and found MANY different ways to try and solve this. after attempting all of them, I still get the error. the one time I do get past the error to attempt a startup repair, it saidsomething along the lines of "windows cannot repair your problem", so I did the command prompt bootlegbootrep thing, it said it was a success, but the next bootup I got the BOOTMGR Error again. I tried copying the cd to a memory stick and trying it that way, same deal. I've tried unplugging/replugging sata cords and doing all I can to fix this.
its a long read but I neeed some help! who out there can put in their 2 cents? I appreciate any comments, tyvm!
