BOOTMGR is missing

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart


Cause:

The files necessary to boot Windows were not found on the partition booted. These files include the bootmgr file and the \Boot folder (which contains the BCD file).

This can be the result of the wrong partition being set active or that the booting files do not exist on the partition.

Windows will install the booting files to the active partition on the booting drive. This partition may or may not be the selected Windows installation partition. For example, if Windows XP is already installed and you then install Windows Vista/Windows 7, the new installation will place its booting files on the XP partition. If you later delete the XP partition or backup the Windows Vista/Windows 7 partition and restore it to another location (such as another drive) and then attempt to boot it, it will not boot since it does not contain the necessary boot files.


Solution:


If partitioning changes were made, verify that the correct partition is set active. This can be done using BootIt BM and looking at the MBR or by editing the boot menu entry for Windows Vista/Windows 7 and making sure the correct partition is selected as the booting partition. If necessary, see Note C (below) for instructions on using DISKPART to set the partition active.

If BootIt BM is not being used and the Windows partition was restored to a primary partition, verify that the partition was restored as an active partition. This option can be found in Image for Windows, Image for Linux, and Image for DOS (Set Active). If you restored to a logical partition, please see Note A (below).

For Windows Vista and Windows 7 installations on an active primary partition, the booting files can be replaced or updated by using the Windows installation DVD or the Windows 7 System Repair Disc. Note: If using the installation DVD, a standard Microsoft OEM or retail version is recommended. Brand-name discs may not provide the same repair options.

In the instructions below, "Repair Disc" is used to reference the repair media. For Windows 7, this will be either the Windows 7 installation DVD or the System Repair Disc. For Windows Vista, this will be a Windows Vista installation DVD or one of the Windows 7 discs. Any specific differences between the discs are noted in the instructions.

Instructions:

Verify the Windows partition is set active. Note: If the wrong partition is set active, the Windows repair will unable to complete successfully. If necessary, see Note C below for instructions on using DISKPART to set the partition active.

Insert the Repair Disc into the CD/DVD drive and reboot the computer. Note: If the computer is not configured to boot the CD/DVD drive before the hard drive, you may need to change the boot order in the BIOS.
