BOOTMGR not found after removing linux and merging partitions
So after searching google for a few days, tis website kept on coming up te most so I figured wy not give it a try. I'm currently using my cousin's laptop with a "useless fake OS" and a broken keyboard. Anyways, ere's my story.
I was bored one day so i installed backtrack on my dell netbook. after installation, wich i did through usb using unetbootin, i noticed the annoying boot screen (which was expected) but rather than only 2 options, it gave me some weird boot screen with 5 options. backtrack, backtrack recovery, 2 memtest options, and windows. I realized i could never see myself doing the simple process of pressing down a few times every boot, so i decided to liveboot linux off of a usb and delete the linux partition. that's where my troubles came. once i did that, it would just boot and say "grub:" so i downloaded parted magic and used that to boot into windows, and have been doing so ever since. Currently the error that shows up is "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" i've tried everything i've found on this site and have noticed that nearly everyone gives up and either fully reformats te drive. since my netbook doesn't have a cd, or a drive, i will stubbornly keep on hunting until i can manage to get it to its original manufacturer (a LOT slower and minus the bloatware). I can reformat the OS partition (like the 7 times i've done so far) but not the whole drive, as it contains the recovery partition. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Any thanks and replies will sadly not be as instant or frequent as they should since i am in mexico due to a family emergency.
