Bootmgr missing after running recovery option
I have an Asus Eee Pc laptop running windows 7 and for some reason it started to run very very slow so I thought I would put it back to factory condition and ran the recovery option (F9). When this had finished I ended up with the error message "Bootmgr missing", Ctrl-Alt-Del to continue.
As I had access to an identical machine I created a System Repair CD and ran the startup repair option. It doesn't find an operating system however but when the menu appears I ran the startup option 3 times as mentioned in another thread. The error still occurs.
Details of the startup repair failure shows bootmgr.exe missing and problem event as StartupRepairOffline
I tried bootrec.exe /fixboot and /fixmbr and then ran startup repair 3 times again, but still no luck.
I've tried Diskpart and it shows 4 partitions, 1 - 100Gb, 2 - 15Gb, 3 - 183Gb and 4 - 16mb. I've made partition 1 active and then 2 active but still no joy.
I don't have a Win 7 installation DVD but the recovery partition seems to be there.
I am at a loss on what to do now so I've joined this forum hoping for some guidance.
Thanks
Bill
