Problem with boot manager message trying to reinstall Win 7
6 months ago I installed windows 7 on a new PC I built. I then decided to switch to a 64 bit system which I did.
I bought another HDD and decide to add a second drive with windows XP. I ended up with a system which had windows 7 shown twice on boot up and only one would bring up windows 7. Windows XP was missing. I removed the second drive and it worked fine but I still had 2 Win 7 prompts on boot up.
I have a virus or root kit which I can't find or remove so I decided to format the C partition and reload windows 7.
The problem is although I have the bios set to boot from the cd with the Win 7 disk, it comes up with the boot manager missing message and I can't get around this.
I tried another HDD and get the same message.
How do I get rid of this problem where i can re install win 7? TIA
