Answer»
I've been getting the error (BOOTMGR is missing)
I tried everything but nothing WORKS for me.
I'm using a HP desktop PC, I tried to upgrade to a bigger drive
and then I started to get this error, so I put my old drive back in and the same error ((

Please help,

Is this XP or Vista ? ?HP PC and I'm running win 7 ultimateSince you put your original post in the DOS forum I had to guess, and moved it to the XP forum. I'll now MOVE it to the Windows 7 forum. Please try to post in the correct forum in the future. Thank you.Exactly HOW did you upgrade to a larger drive?Quote from: Allan on July 18, 2013, 04:18:10 PM
Exactly HOW did you upgrade to a larger drive?

It sounds to me that he probably used a Disk Manager program and after the migration of the system to a larger HDD, used the program to DELETE the 100mb boot partition, thus deleting the MFT and MBR. In this case his only hope is that he saved the smaller HDD and can MIGRATE it to the larger HDD again.

If my guess is correct the 100mb (give or take) partition is fine. Just leave it alone next time around.Quote from: SuperTweaker on July 18, 2013, 09:20:03 PM

D'oh!

Couldn't agree with you more.

So now the obvious question. Did you make a Windows 7 boot disk through the Backup and Restore app? If so, boot to that disk, let Windows files load and choose to repair Startup.I got to a Command Prompt and typed in (Bootrec /fixboot)
it seemed to fix the problem.

Thank you all, you guys are the best.
