    bootmngr is missing wrong active partition.


    When I started my pc the windows startup recovery tool started and gave me an error such as:

    "no os found". So after reading a comment from gregrocker here I did type in the comment prompt :

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK # (for Win7 HD)
    LIST PARTITION
    SELECT PARTITION # (for Win7 partition, determine by volume size)
    ACTIVE
    EXIT

    But when I restarted I had the message "bootmngr is missing". I guess I picked the wrong partition earlier.

    I need some files on my pc that I don't want to lose. I don't have the windows 7 cd anymore. After that I might switch to ubuntu or at least try it.
    How can I access those?

    You can explore the drive with any version of Linux. You don`t have to install it, just run it from the cd or flash drive.

    Zorin OS - Download

    Ubuntu PC operating system | Ubuntu

    Main Page - Linux Mint

    You could also create a system repair disc on another Windows 7 PC, it has to be the same bit version, 32 or 64 bit.

    Or you can create an install dvd. You can then run startup repair (up to 3 times) to get windows booting again. It may work it may not.

Okay first of all, I don't know if this is the correct section. I marked the wrong partition as active in Windows 7, the problem is that I do not have access to a Windows 7 DVD to use diskpart. And I don't have access to any other computer at the moment. The only thing I have access to is an old...

I have a new laptop (refurbished) that came with win7. When I initially started the machine it went through the install process, and finished with burning 4 recovery disks. All good at this stage. I then installed Linux as a dual boot and again all was well. Both OS's booted fine. I then...
