Special situation Bootmgr is missing
I am going to try my best to explain this problem in its entirety, i have a very complex problem on my hands and i am trying to not lose my mind.
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
The first error i received was OS not found.
I prepared a USB stick with my Win 7 ISO files using the download tool provided by Microsoft.
I used the repair utility to fix the OS problem, only to discover the Invalid partition table problem.
The reason this is such an issue is: When i boot into the install screen, i cannot install a new copy or fix a partition through install because it comes up with a driver not found error.
I decided i would run the start up repair on the disk, the problem to start with is it does not detect my windows 7 installation, but when i proceed anyways it tells me "Cannot automatically fix this issue" The reason in the summary is because BOOT MANAGER is missing.
After running CMD in the repair section i have tried :
/bootrec /fixmbr
completed successfully
/bootrec .fixboot
completed successfully
/bootrec /rebuildbcd
1 os detected on C:\windows
press y
Cannot complete : "The required system device could not be found."
Now the error i receive is "BOOTMGR missing press CTRL ALT DEL to restart"
I have tried making my volumes/disks active, i have tried the above commands in X:\Sources and in C:\. I have tried to rebuild the BCD by hand, but I cannot locate any of the files to do this.
I also read about removing and adding the usb stick, and stuff as such, but again no luck. I am at the end of my rope and have no idea what to do. I would like to just rebuild the BCD, but i don't know the commands that well, and no guide i have found can seem to help my special situation because no one has this many problems at once when trying to resolve this issue.
