<![CDATA[BOOTMGR is missing...win 7]]>Anyone have a windows 7 disc so I can fix this problem ASAP? Dell isn't nice enough to include one with new computers apparently. God damn computer is 2 months old and this bullshit happens. Not very happy right now.

None of the "solutions" proposed by others in this thread would have worked on the problem that darkelvis was having.

I don't know about Vista, but I know where boot.ini is in XP and how to modify it.

How that could happen is outside my scope of realistic expectations.

+1 for installing the OS in a separate partition with important programs and data in another

It should be as simple as throwing in the disc and doing a copy 'path on disc' 'path on drive' in the console. At least that solved a similar problem I ran into on a client's machine a while back.

If CMK's links don't fix it and all you need is that one file, I can email you a copy of it.

thanks CMK. I was trying to find somewhere to download a GOOD recovery/fix file but it was kind of time consuming/not going so well searching on my phone. I'll give that a shot after work tonight.

The links that I posted will be easy. It is a piece of cake. Let me know if you need any more help with it.

Bootmgr isn't on my recovery disk
You need the recovery discs to access the system repair tools to fix Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr).

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/backupcd_form

You can order the recovery media from that link. You will have to wait for the discs which doesn't really do you any good right now.

To get your machine back up and running now, go here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

Download the applicable flavor of recovery disc and burn it. Then go here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-bootmgr-is-missing-error-while-trying-to-boot-windows-vista/

Follow those instructions and that should take care of your problem. Hope that helps. :icon_salut:

Maybe that option doesnt exist anymore.
