My NTLDR recently went missing, and I was able to fix that. However, now my BOOTMGR is also missing, and I have tried all the solutions on the whole Internet to fix it. Below are the actions I've taken in the recovery command prompt:
- bootrec /fixmbr
- The operation completed successfully.
- bootrec /fixboot
- Element not found.
- bootrec /rebuildbcd
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] C:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A):y
Element not found.
- diskpart
list disk
select disk 4
select partition 1
active- DiskPart marked the current partition as active.
- bootrec /rebuildbcd

So how do I restore my BOOTMGR without having to reinstall?
Note this question required some... interesting formatting :)
Answer
I ended up having to install Windows Server 2008 on another drive, which built a new bootloader. I updated my boot loader to select the old one only and wiped the new install so as to remain in adherence to the license.
