Boot Manager, missing from formatted Hdd.
Long time since I posted here I know.
Building a budget system for my son. Details:
Originals: Corsair case, Sapphire AMD HD5670, LiteOn DVDRW, 2x 140mm front fans, 1x 120mm rear fan and 1x 120 mm top fan. 500Watt Thermaltake PSU, tested with my trusty old PSU tester, all rails OK.
New bits: Gigabyte A320M-S2h mobo, AMD Ryzen3 1200, 1x 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400 MHz. All fans and lights including graphics card kick in at start.
This build needed when his ancient Gigabyte ATX board blew its cookies. Phenom IIX4 HSF and CPU are still good, selling on hopefully. His 1TB Samsung Hdd was blown along with the board and I had a good Seagate 1TB that I had used once before replacing with a 2TB WD Blue that is in my system alongside a Sandisk 480GB SSD. The 1TB SG was working fine before I formatted it.
Tried to install the SG 1 TB to son's new build and install Windows 7 Home, which began to install but then the USB mouse and Keyboard stopped working and I could not proceed past US KB settings. Trying to install Win 7 gave the message "Boot Mgr Missing. Press Ctrl - Alt -Delete to start." Nothing worked. Installed the Hdd in my old but good ICYbox external Case and reformatted. Where do I go from here please? Can't get mouse and KB working to install Win 7 from the disc, which will replace Boot Manager. I'm stuck!
