Bootmanager is missing

"Boot to a dos prompt and from the Win7 DVD, in the boot folder, try running

bootsect /nt60 c:

Then run 'diskpart' and type type following

list disk
select disk 0 // Where disk 0 is where your C is
list partition
select partition 1 //Where partition 1 is C
active
exit

Reboot your system

EDIT: By DOS prompt I mean off the win7 DVD to a console, whatever they have"

"Fixed it!

I had a similar problem with the bootmgr being installed on a different hard drive when the OS was installed on a RAID array. This brought a few other problems with having to go deeper into the wizards to ""load drivers"" then exit out and get back to the command prompt.

Here is what you do.

I tried the same options as listed above. PLUS

The real problem is that the OS is looking for the file Bootmgr but it's not there.

So to get it there you have to copy it from the Windows 7 DVD.

**xcopy d:\bootmgr c:** (where D: is
your CDrom)
**xcopy d:\bootmgr.efi c:** (don't know if
it needs this or not)

Then I ran the above options again.
Then it finally booted successfully.

Cheers,
Leighton"
