After having to reinstal win 8 due to stupidity on my part I am now getting the bootmgr missing.
I have tried doing what it says in the MS page to rebuild it, but it still says it's missing.
Note Use the Bootrec.exe tool to troubleshoot "Bootmgr Is Missing" issue. If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup issue, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. By doing this, you make sure that the BCD is completely rebuilt.
To do this, type the following commands at the Windows RE command prompt:
I have followed this to the letter, but it still says bootmgr missing on startup.
Under command prompt C:\Boot I now have
20,480 BCD
77,824 bcd.old
(along, of course, with a load of other stuff)
So it is there
I have 3 discs
vol 1 is d: and is for data (d:data)
vol 2 is c: and is for software, (this contains the windows)
vol 3 is f: and is just a data backup from d: (f: data backup)
all the commands run under bootrec are successful and it finds the windows installation under c:
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Steve
ps for those interested in the stupid part...
my ISP wanted me to check the download speed in safe mode and the way I got into SF was by altering the msconfig file.
Trouble then started when it would not recognise my password, or the 4 digit quick code I had chosen.
So that was it as I then could not get back to the normal instal.
Reinstall kept on hanging, even when I reloaded 7 then tried 8 on top, no go.
Turned out it did not like the hdmi cable to the tv attached, when I removed this all went ok but in the meantime after speaking to MS support for hours they had me reformat c: to get rid of anything windows.
So this morning managed to get win 8 to instal, but as soon as I tried to start, it come with the bootmgr missing deal.
