Windows 7 - Recovery problem! wimapply and bootmgr errors

Hello guys,

I am in a trouble with my laptop Emachines G730Z.

Recently i deleted all of the partitions and performed a full format(long story).

Anyways, I deleted and formatted "everything". Then i tried to install a Windows 7 32 bit cd, it didn't work. I came to know that my comp is for 64 bit windows.

So I obtained the recovery discs for this model.

Now I have the recovery discs (4 discs) and try to install it several times. The problem is after i put the 4th disc it stops during a progress and gives this error:

"WIMAPPLYimage fail"

And it is stuck like this. Then i make a forced shutdown and restart and this time comes the following message after start up:

"Bootmgr is missing ctrl+alt+del to restart"

I cannot use repair windows tools since nothing is installed. Recovery discs doesn't have any option to format. So i can only format using 32 bit Windows 7 and then try again with recovery discs. But then the same things happen.

Please help! I am desperate, even I have recovery discs i cannot solve

32bit Windows should have no problems installing on a 64bit processor. What was the problem there?

I take it there's a sticker somewhere underneath with your Product Key on it, what version is listed there?

with 32 bit cd it stops installation and stucks(because it doesnt belong to this computer). itdoesnt work at all i tried hundreds of times.

so please what can i do? i ahve the recovery cds and the problems i mentioned.

the recovery cds are for this model. they are original. i took from the company to install

Did you define a partition large enough (25GB or more) to where to install.

As the Acer partitioning tool has been used on the HD, you need do a Clean all.
Try Cleaning the HD Drive, using the CLEAN ALL command in Step One in this tutorial:
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Do not partition or format.
Than clean install with the Acer OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks.

Ray, I would partition. With a predefined active partition you avoid the 100MB system partition.

You can set the partitions with Acer OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks.

And that gets you out of the 100MB system partition ?? I have no experience with Acers.

The Acer OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks will Reinstall the F key Recovery Partition.

Yeah, that was the same with the HP recovery DVD that I once used for Vista about 4 years ago.
