windows 7 - Bootmanager is missing


Went to disk manager and setup a simple volume as drive D.



  • Installed windows 7 home premium

  • Disk manager: created a new simple volume "D:" in unallocated space.

  • Unable to until drive "C:" was made active.

  • Simple volume "D:" created.

  • On reboot got Bootmgr is missing

  • Booted from installation disk and tried:

  • > bootrec /fixboot

  • > The operation completed successfully

  • However still got bootmgr is missing

  • Tried:

  • > bootrec /RebuildBcd

  • > Successfully scanned Windows installations.

  • > Total identified Windows installations: 0

  • > The operation completed successfully

  • Still getting Bootmgr is missing


What are my options?


Answer



Boot to a dos prompt and from the Win7 DVD, in the boot folder, try running


bootsect /nt60 c:

Then run 'diskpart' and type type following


list disk
select disk 0 // Where disk 0 is where your C is
list partition
select partition 1 //Where partition 1 is C
active
exit

Reboot your system


EDIT: By DOS prompt I mean off the win7 DVD to a console, whatever they have
