Hey Guys

I'm running Vista on the PC at home. I don't have the drives partitioned or anything like that. My brother was using the computer, and it hung. He pulled the plug and two days later got the bootmgr missing message. We got no installation disc with the computer so I visited this website, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto.....ws-vista/.

I followed all the instructions, created my repair disc and ran it. How ever when the process came to the System Recovery window, there is no operating system showing up to repair. Has anyone come accross this???

Thanks a million

Hi johnny. You seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. If there is no system to repair, then you can't repair it. I think your only choice is to get an installation disk :(

Hi folks..
I have an Aspire 6920 and i recently deleted the hidden partitions(EISA) after backing them up on a DVD.
And the next thing that shows on my system is "BOOTMGR is missing"
I tried restoring my C drive ( thru the backed up DVD's) but to no avail.
Plz help guyz.
