    "Repair your computer" option is missing


    After trying to correctly partition my hard drives, I now no longer have the "Repair your computer" option in the Advanced Boot Options.

    I have ran Startup Repair 3 times using my installation disk.

    Here is my disk management options:

    Did you remove the System Reserved partition?

    That is where the repair data is held.

    With the System Reserved partition gone, the Startup repair is not available. You will need to use your Windows DVD to do a startup repair if needed
