The other night, my PC had locked, upon restart however, I got the error 'BOOTMGR Missing' while trying to boot into Windows 7. I assumed this would be an easy fix, so I did the following:
Put in the Windows repair disc, and ran startup repair - cannot fix automatically.
Opened the recovery console and tried the following:
chkdsk /f /r - No errors found
sfc /scannow - no errors found
bootrec /fixboot - No effect
bootrec /rebuildbcd No Effect (and nothing added)
I then decided I'd try removing the BCD and start fresh, so I did the following:
bcdedit /export c:/bcdbackup
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd - No effect, but the Windows installation was readded to the BCD.
I then decided to check to see where the bootmgr/etc was, so I put in the following:
bcdedit
and I got this:
C: is the Windows partition, so that all seemed in order.
Boot order is set for that particular HD to boot first also, and I have no media plugged in elsewhere.
I did notice, however, if I hit F8 and select the Hard-drive to boot from, it seems to boot into it without failure... Leaving me rather perplexed as to why it's giving me that error when I leave it to boot on it's own.
Any ideas?
