Solved BOOTMGR missing + System Recovery Options not compatible errors

[Husaberger]

Had USB driver problem detailed here
http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/...not-verify-digital-signature-usb-drivers.html

Decided to restore using Acronis backup. Even though everything went smoothly during recovery (have restored a couple of times) and I can see all of the folders are in their normal position, I cannot boot and get BOOTMGR missing error.

When I try to use install or repair disk to fix I get the 'This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible' error

Have tried several Win 7 SP1 system repair disks and error is always the same.

Would rather not reinstall. Any ideas?

make sure you pick the right version and language see my pic for more.

Oops thought you said reinstall but anyhow if you have a back up or image worth a shot.

Thank you ICit2lol and Britton30
Did startup repair using diskpart (because I cannot boot into Windows) with no resolution of my problem
Next attempted repair install using lastest iso for win 7 pro on USB. Got stuck at Compatibility Report with message ' The computer started using the Windows install disc. Remove disk and restart using Windows' which put me back at square one...

Well have you backed the machine up in any way (image or even just a normal Windows back up) as it looks like doing a clan install mate or at least that is what I would be doing.
