BOOTMGR is Missing

Did you Upgrade from Windows Vista & delete the Recovery Partition?

Nah i bought it used with W7 64 bit upgrade , i didnt want all the crap the previous owner had installed so i installed win 7 32 bit , everything worked like a charm until i turned it off and the next day its stuck on bootmgr missing.

It just does not want to boot anything at all

I can't help you further without feedback for each of the many steps I've given you. Otherwise I'm just repeating the key steps hoping you'll catch up.

We work interactively.

Im trying my best to those steps but the laptop i have right now is without cd rom

In your OP you were trying to boot CD. What happened to the drive since then?

Still waiting to hear what happens when you try booting F8 as shown above, and whether you have any other bootable disks and what their result is. I just keep asking....

i can't go to anything else.

ALL i can do is :

View Bios
View boot order
Open CD drive
And press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

It boots up to Packard bell boot screen and after that it says BootMGR missing. Did you see the video?

From the video, it looks like Bios is attempting to boot from the HD - no matter what you select from the pop up boot menu.

Si - Is reflashing BIOS a last resort if this is the case? He's reset it several times.

Shawn - On BIOS which have the F8 key as Boot Menu, it requires choosing the HD first and then vigorously tapping the F8 key every second to trigger System Recovery Options.

Sometimes it takes many tries to get it to work correctly, to find the correct rhythm.

Nothing happens when i press F8 other than it loading up the boot order , and i have pressed it like **** before choosing the hd and after , nothing happens.
