BOOT MGR Missing!
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 12:01 am
I am trying to install Windows 7 OEM on my computer. I did something wrong because:
If I boot from the Windows 7 DVD drive with the HDD drive connected, I get the Boot MGR Missing.
If I boot from the Windows 7 DVD drive with the HDD disconnected, the computer will boot up, but none of the repair options from the DVD work.
The computer will simply not boot with the HDD installed, I even formatted it clean on another computer. Same message. Is the problem on the OEM Windows 7 DVD? or is there some information that cant be erased on the HDD that tells windows its not a new HDD, so the OEM wont work.
