Solved bootmgr is missing windows 7

[BuzzFuzz]

Hello, after reading all the posts about my problem still need your help :shock:

-Asus eee 1005
-Windows 7 USB

problem: bootmgr is missing

Asus hdd is ntfs, usb key with windows works on another computers without any problems. Asus bios has been set to IDE, AHCI, compatibile/enhanced and still can't load from USB. Sure, first boot is Removable Device! I also tried even with other settings.

I would not write about problem like "bootmgr..." but this is strange.

I hope ext CD/DVD will help but it comes next week. And i would like to know why USB boot fail, would like to learn something new..

Windows Seven Forums tutorials are the best place to start: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/104341-bootmgr-missing-fix.html

To a CD/DVD drive or USB Drive you need to, Disable Boot Booster in BIOS setup before you perform system recovery from USB flash disk, external optical drive or hidden partition.

Do a Strartup Repair:

Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.

Have tried the one time boot menu at boot post?

 

[BuzzFuzz]

Yes, doesn't work.
Work only F2 - bios and ESC for boot device select.

Damn...

I would reburn the startup CD.

Do you have a mate with Windows 7 of the same bit version 32 or 64 & CD/DVD RW Drive, how could burn a new one off.

Tested with all windows usb versions and same problem all the time. I will wait for external CD/DVD, maybe it will help...

Thanks guys, cheers

Check the ISO integrity or download another, write to stick using this tool with Win7 in dropdown menu: Universal USB Installer

If this is a clean reinstall anyway, you can always wipe the HD using free Partition Wizard bootable CD which autostarts on its own, which will then force the installer to do the same.

Doesn't work, nothing.

Edit:
if i take out hhd and formatted by PC, would help?
Can i just NTFS format hdd?

or there is any special procedure?

 

[gregrocker]

I would wait for external CD drive to run Repairs first.

Run at least 3 Startup Repairs after confirming Win7 partition or its SysReserved partition (preferred) are set Active: Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two)
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times

If this fails you can copy out your files using Repair CD: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

Then run Factory Recovery from its partition at boot by tapping the Asus F9 key, once you've disabled Boot Booster in BIOS. Or boot the Win7 DVD and follow these steps for Reinstalling Windows 7
