bootmgr missing problem

[fillitup]

hi all.
after downloading some stuff from the net i off the laptop then when i on it again the message appears. i downloaded the win7 iso and put it in a cd. i put it in to the laptop but the press any button does not appear. when i on the laptop i jumps straight to the bootmgr missing screen and i dont know how to enter the BIOs from there plese help. i am new to this kind of thing.
Thanks in advance


erm at first there was the system repair thing and it reformated then my sis said that there were some important files so she closed the system repair just after the reformating when the system fils is at 4%. is this why the problem appears and how do i fix it?

was formating at 4% or the system install ?
i think what your going to have to do is reformate the drive (losing all the important files).
then reinstall windows ..

I think is formating. so how do i reformat the comp when i cant even boot it?

 

[scrooge]

do you have any or can you get a copy of windows install disk ?

 

[scrooge]

did your laptop come with a windows recovery disk or did you make a recovery disk?
if not look like may have to buy a copy of windows to install..

i have a friend who has one i will try to get it from him. if i am able to get it what should i do?

 

[scrooge]

your going to have to format the harddrive and then reinstall windows .

btw you should never stop a format or install at anytime .that will only lead to trouble as you already found out.

Hello fillitup, welcome to Seven Forums!



Have a look at this tutorial at the link below, it explains how to do a wipe (secure erase) that is much better than a format, to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and you can use the system boot disk listed at the second tutorial to boot the PC to diskpart; be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

How to Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc

If you don't have disks then how were you able to format your HD already? Or are you using the word "format" to describe some other repair attempt you've made?

You need a Repair CD to attempt repairs if you haven't somehow overwritten Win7. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2083-system-repair-disc-create.html

Boot the Repair CD and run Startup Repair repeatedly: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html?ltr=S Report back to let us know what happens.

If Repairs don't work, try marking Win7 partition active to see if they work then: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/71432-partition-mark-active.html

If no luck, then you need to find a way to Recover or Reinstall. If Win7 came pre-installed on your computer, you should have either made Repair Disks when you set up your computer or you can run the Recovery Partition by tapping the key given for Factory Recovery on the first screen. If you don't see it, look in the Manual on the Support Downloads webpage for your computer model. We can help you find it if you tell us your computer make/model.

If you have no factory Recovery then you need to find any Win7 installer to clean reinstall using these steps: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/125874-re-install-windows-7-a.html#post1086729

You can copy out your files first using the Repair CD or Installation DVD: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/93347-copy-paste-windows-recovery-console.html
