Bootmgr missing

allancopper, on Wednesday April 30, 2008 01:34:59 PM

Hello,

I keep getting a "bootmgr missing press ctrl-alt-del to restrat" message when i start my computer. I've tried the vista repair thing for the dvd but it won't recognize my hard drive as the drive with the OS. I ran chkdsk on it and it got rid of some of the corrupted files but still no boot. I'm on xp right now and i can't see any of the files on the other hard drive so i can't backup my files. I have show hidden files on. Does anyone know how to fix the error or how i can backup my files?

Thank you for reading this!

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hai

The drive is shown but it doesn't detect it as a drive with an OS. so it does see the drive?

Can you navigate to the Vista Drive by booting off the CD\DVD?

ie.... if you type C: [PRESS ENTER]

OR E: [ENTER]

do you see anything when you type:

....DIR [ENTER}...??

Basiclay your system is stuck in a loop. Remove the hard drive, and boot from you OS disk. when it comes up that that there are no drives found shutdown your system connect your HD back up and boot from dick again and re-install OS.

before you try to replace a graphics card or do a reinstall of an Operating System- Check to see if the jumpers on the hard drive are set to master. This is a small clip that sits in pins on the back of the hard drive. Cable select could be going out and cause the same symptoms. If you are not sure how to set a jumper just google it for directions and it should help, but hard drive a labeled. CS-for cable select, SL- for slave, and MA- for master.
