boot problems!please need help!

[Jonathan_King]

Okay, we need to get the boot issue resolved before we can move on. Try unplugging your hard drive and booting from a CD/DVD you know works.

how to i unplugg hard drive on my laptop...i know but its under licence....
the only solution is to find the windows 7 dvd and do a repair?but i dont have windows 7 dvd.

 

[dimitar]

i know about wubi...but wubi has two options...to boot up ubuntu and i cant do that and to install ubuntu inside the windows os...i dont want that.

If you are using Windows 7 now, use the link above to create a repair disk. Instead of unplugging your HD, try going into the BIOS and disabling all boot devices except optical drive.

Don't we need to mark the 2 partitions as active (D & F)?

 

[dimitar]

how do you mean rsvr85 ?

 

[dimitar]

jonathan_king i tryed that already...still the same problem...
i thing when we make rescue cd in windows 7 system save the setting and configuration...and then if you have some problems it restore the previous good setting right?
so if i make rescue cd now it will restore this problem?

Not quite:

This will show you how to create a Windows 7 system repair disc to use to boot to the system recovery options if you don't have a Windows installation disc, can't find your Windows installation disc, or can't access the recovery options provided by your computer manufacturer.

Can you access your boot popup menu? It may be disabled in your BIOS, but it is usually the F11 or F12 key during the POST. Can you manually boot from your optical drive?

 

[dimitar]

ok then...no bootmgr file...:sarc:
i have to get windows 7 cd then...but thank you all guys.

 

[dimitar]

i can access popup menu...and guess what...BOOTMGR is missing...please press ctrl+alt+delete to restart.

 

[rsvr85]

Do you have a camcorder to record your PC booting into Windows then booting off a dvd and getting bootmgr is missing???

I just cannot get my head around it, maybe i've been staring at my monitor too long!

 

[dimitar]

ahahahaaaaaahahahaa

Yes, second that. The only think of other that user error is a bad optical drive. Or maybe a bad BIOS.

That would be best. You have have one of two possible problems:
1) the computer is not booting from the right drive
2) the boot manager is missing, in which case a Startup Repair should fix it.
