Hey so here is my deal.
I have a Inspiron dell with with windows 7 and intel core duo (I'm reading the stickers on my comp)
I keep getting a "bootmgr is missing" and to press control alt delete to restart. I've tried many ways to fix it such as going into command prompt and entered the following:
Bootrec /RebuildBcd (enter)
Bootrec /FixMbr (enter)
Bootrec /Fixboot (enter)
Another website had me type this into the command prompt As well:
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup (enter)
c: (enter)
cd boot (enter)
attrib bcd -s -h -r (enter)
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old (enter)
bootrec /RebuildBcd (enter)
That still has not fixed my problem. Also the startup Repair does not work. When attempting to repair it stops and says "startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically"
Additional notes: when I pull up my system recovery options after hitting f12 at the dell load screen and loading from the cd drive. It says "operating system: unknown on (unknown) local disk" above my recovery options.
System restore option says "to use system restore, you must specify which windows installation to restore. Restart computer, select operating system, then select system restore." nothing seems to work and when i first start the repair system option before I get to the 5 options of startup repair, system repair etc. the box that comes up finds no operating system.
Please help if any additional info is needed just let me know
Also I am not to knowledged in what I'm doing so explain it like im a noob lol thank you
