BOOTMGR is missing after format

So I formatted my harddrive since the laptop was being crappy. When I try to use the recovery discs they don't work. I went into the BIOS and moved the disc drive to the top of boot, and I tried to load via Boot Menu. I'm still getting the BOOTMGR is missing. What can I do? Specs:Satellite L755Part no PSK2YC-0MF02Y

It is most likely not really an issue with Enterprise Linux 5, unless you installed from USB. You will need to boot from the Linux DVD into rescue mode in order to modify the correct boot device in the Grub Bootloader configuration. Your bootloader is installed on the wrong device. Yuo can also use the recovery console from your Vista DVD or download a Vista recovery CD image to restore the default Vista bootloader. The solution is somewhat complex, but you can find many answers in Google, searching for e.g. "centos 5 vista bootmgr missing", including demos on youtube. If you install on a Laptop or Desktop computer you might consider installing Enterprise Linux as guest OS inside Virtualbox or VMware rather than dual-boot.

Installed my SSD from my Windows 8 PC onto it getting the bootmgr is missing. I formatted the SSD but when I try and plug in my external harddrive to restore my mac settings I backed up using time machine, the computer doesn't show it as an option.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro. I had a windows 8 pc that had hardware issues that didn't deal with the harddrive. When I got the mbp, I installed the SSD from my windows 8 pc into the macbook. Before doing this, I made a time machine backup on my external hard drive. When I booted up the macbook pro with the windows 8 SSD in it, windows 8 started up. I tried formating the harddrive from within windows but it wouldn't work. From there, I put a spare windows 7 ultimate disk into the macbook and formatted the hard drive using that. Now, bootmgr is missing error keeps coming up and I can't put my time maching backup onto the macbook. Quick replies are appreciated, thanks!

You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Hello @pac-man ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand after running a system recovery from the recovery media you are unable to boot the PC, and get a BOOTMGR missing error.
Take a look through this guide for BOOTMGR troubleshooting: How To Fix BOOTMGR is Missing Errors. The guide contains all of the steps to take and describes how to do each of them in a manner that any level user can understand.
If none of that works, you will need to obtain a copy of the Windows installation and run your installer. Once installed it will add a new BOOTMGR and allow you to re-run the recovery to restore your pre-installed software. The only other option would be to contact HP Phone Support for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this helps!

Missing file formats after cs6 beta

I have cs5 and don't know if I'm entitled to cs6 as mine is 1 year old. I have reinstalled photoshop because I hoped it would fix some missing file formats and live CS live "...extension could not be loaded". I'm Bavari69 from a previous attempt at installing dds. That's why I ended up with trying to reinstall after cs6 messing things up, but frankly I still have the same program.
I may be wrong but the list of file formats is very short. I'm missing bmp and png among other things.

The brush are not supposed to influence the file formats, only the plug-ins does.
If you had a previous install, and saved presets to their proper location, use edit>Presets>Migrate presets in CS6 to bring them from previous versions.

Bootmgr is missing message after stopping recovery disk

I have an HP G72 series laptop with Windows 7. I took the laptop in for service and was told the hard drive was bad. They replaced the hard drive and gave me the information to order the recovery disk from HP. I put in disk 1 and it started out OK. It got to the second check mark at around 33% complete and stated 0 minutes remaining on the time. It sat there and did not move for hours. It kept making beeping noises.I got an error something about E ....... not finding C..... (or something i don't remember now). It had only one button to choice and it was OK to retry. I did that 3 times. I tried to do the next button and cancel button but system wouldn't do anything. The disk would not even eject out of laptop. I had to do a hard shut down by pressing the on/off key. When i turned it back on I am now getting BOOTMGR is missing, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. I did that and it is just a continous loop. I have read other articles about doing all the F keys and none of them work. When I turn it back on and hold down the keys nothing happens and the BOOTMGR message comes back up. I tried putting in the disk 1 again and it doesn't do anything either. PLEASE HELP!! Is there an error in the service centers installation of the hard drive? What else can I try?

Hi
1) Start you system keep tapping F10 or F2 this will take to Bios page or F2 diagnosis page there you will find HDD test check if HDD is getting detected.
2) If not detected please reseat the HDD then check if you have the same issue then you need to replace the MB as HDD controller is bad.
3) If HDD test detected and test passed reseat the HDD once again and then try to reinstall OS back using Recovery disc still does not work order for a set of RCD again.
As per my knowledge this is best solution provided.

Compaq Presario CQ57 - 205SO BOOTMGR Missing after using Recovery Discs

Hi..
Try to do a recovery with the Recovery Discs From HP
When everything is complete and you do a reboot....BOOTMGR is missing
and you need to start over
Self test is done OK
Start up test OK
Need some help her
clueless

All HP systems came with a recovery partition on the HDD. The only reason it shouldn't be present is if it was removed or if the HDD was replaced. There might be something wrong with the disks themselves. Have they worked previously or was this the first time they were being used?
You could also try using an official Windows 7 ISO using the product key found on the certificate of authenticity on the underside of the notebook. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit can be found here. Make the DVD and proceed to install Windows using it. You would boot from it in the same manner you did the recovery disks. When it comes to activating Windows, you will need to use the phone activation method (it's automated) to use the OEM product key for that system. See DavidPK's answer in this thread for more information.
Using this workaround will get Windows 7 installed. Once that is done, you can install all of the drivers and desired software for your system from here.

BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart.

Hello there!
I'm having trouble since i formatted my t61's primary hard drive, after i did that i thought i could recover the operating system simply by using the recovery DVD's but for my surprise when i turned on the laptop to begin the recovery process this message appeared on a black screen BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart... even tho i put the 1rst recovery disc in the DVD drive. After that i tried the 2nd one which is the operating system recovery DVD and still got the same message. What can i do?? I do have an old yet functional thinkpad HDD that came with the computer with vista, R&R and the lenovo preloaded softwares in it, i don't use it anymore because i replaced it with an HD with more GB which now is (was) my primary HD but I don't have the original windows vista DVD just have the 4 recovery DVD's, one thing I'm concerned of is that if i install windows vista again from an original vista DVD then i wont be able to have all the lenovo preloaded software (productivity center, rescue and recovery and all that). PLEASE help! Thank you in advanced.

Welcome to the forums
If you have an original Vista DVD you can try to repair the bootmanager of your laptop.MIcrosoft has 4 resolutions for this try them

I am a volunteer here. I don't work for Lenovo

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

Dv7 bootmgr is missing error

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7 (64-bit) that is about a year and a half old. I recently started getting an error message after start-up that stated a hard drive failure was imminent. I called HP and they told me to replace the hard drive. I ordered the hard drive and recovery discs from HP.
After installing the hard drive and installing the recovery discs I get an error message that says BOOTMGR is missing. I have talked to HP customer support and all they tell me is to try re-installing the discs. I have done so several time and still get the BOOTMGR is missing message. Help?

Hi:
You can try this workaround if you want.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn as ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

How do I resolve "BOOTMGR is missing" on startup of HP TouchSmart IQ816 Desktop PC (VISTA)?

Product: HP Touchsmart PC IQ816 Desktop
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center (64-bit) with Vista Service Pack 1
Error Msg: "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
Changes: No changes have been made to system since purchase
Actions Taken:
1. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del only restarts the computer and returns to same black screen with error message: "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
2. Per HP troubleshooting, checked BIOS (F10) for presence of hard drive--it's present (ST3750630AS).
3. Per HP troubleshooting, shut computer down for greater than 5 seconds. Restarted and pressed F8, but "Advanced Boot Options" screen did not open. I do not have a recovery disc.
3. Question: How do I replace the "BOOTMGR" if I do not have a recovery disc? What are my options -- can I download the "BOOTMGR" from some site? Help!!!!!!! I am a novice user.

Current Boot Order: 1. CD-ROM GGroup, 2. Hard Drive Group, 3. Network boot group, and 4. Floppy Group.
I checked the new drive using F9 on desktop and Seagate Tools (using another conputer). The new hard drive received no errors and passed all tests.
I am unable to duplicte the error, because I cloned the old HDD to the new one. Now I am unable to get it to boot up from the recovery discs. I shut the computer down after inserting recovery disc 1 by holding in the power button until system shuts down and holding it in for an additional 50 to 10 seconds before restarting. Once restarted it either: 1) loads to windows error recovery with the followinf options-- Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, or Start Windows Normally (no other options); or 2) it by passes booting from rtecovery CD and proceeds to windows screen and then to an HP Invent Screen with "Please Wait..." continually running --this screen ahas the following statements:
DO NOT turn off PC during this one time setup process
Your PC restarts several times durinf this process
Messages may pop up onto your screen. Ignore these messages until you are prompted to Restart or Shut down (which never happens)
The computer has the screen (described in number 2 above) on as I type. It says "Please wait ..." with three blocks/squares running accross the bottom of the screen beneath "Please wait..." This state is as far as it proceeded when it first acceppted the recovery discs. After it asked for and received disc 3, it has remained on theis screen "Please wait..." As stateed before, I waited for more than 5 hours before trying something else.
I have to depart on business and will be away from my computer for about 4 hours. I will check back for your post and suggestions upon my return or about 8 pm tonight (11 December 2012). I will leave the PC running or processing the Please wait while I'm gone.
Thanks for your time and support (and quick responses).

What if computer run into "Bootmgr is missing" or "Hard Drive Failure"

Most of us have the experience of computer run into error,such as bootmgr is missing. The most common reasons for BOOTMGR errors include corrupt and misconfigured files, hard drive and operating system upgrade issues, corrupt hard drive sectors, an outdated BIOS, and damaged or loose hard drive interface cables. Hard drive failure is another frequent error,it is arouse by physical damage or logical error. Once this problem occurs to you, any data stores in it would be in danger. If you want to Fix Bootmgr Error by yourself. These following steps may be available for you to deal with the problem. Step one. Burn a rescue boot disc or USB drive. You need to download Fix Genius and install it into a computer ,then insert the CD/USB and run the program to burn it . Step two. boot your computer from CD/USB Enter into the BIOS and change the Boot Device Priority ,then save the changes and exit. Step three.Fix "Bootmgr is missing" or "Hard Drive Failure" Insert the CD/USB then you will enter into the WinPE system, and click the Fix Genius icon there on the desktop. After run up the program, config the parameter according to your problem. This rescuing process would last within minutes. It is the best one I can find among the solutions. As the time past, it is a time information refresh very quickly, Maybe there is a better one for you to fix bootmgr is corrupted and Hard drive failure if you have time to search online. please let me know if you find it, I will be glad with you.

There are some caveats to be aware of when replacing the hard drive! While in theory any SATA drive is compatible, I have experienced problems with a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB and a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640GB recently.
With my WD drive I have had to adjust the power management settings (using a command line tool called "hdapm") to prevent it from spinning up and down every 20 to 30 seconds, and which was also leading to momentary freeze ups. While this may kill my battery a bit quicker, I'm hoping the drive will at least live an average lifetime. (Batteries may be more expensive, but they're a lot quicker to replace than a hard drive).
My Seagate drive has exhibited far less frequent problems but the occasional noises it made have never sounded healthy and after 6 months is now being replaced under warranty. There were also a number of days where I would get excessive beachballing for no reason I could identify, and that I concluded must be hard disk related. I couldn't find anything here or elsewhere on the internet to indicate what the cause of that might be.
So my limited experience of hard disk replacement hasn't been a great success and I'm beginning to wonder if getting an official replacement from Apple might be a safer option in the long run, despite it being more expensive. I read somewhere that the hard disks supplied by Apple have custom firmware that works better with Apple's own power management strategies.

WIM file applied. Boot error of BOOTMGR is missing.

My desktop computer has 2 physical hard drives
I booted with a USB drive to capture images using the ImageX tool.
Drive G is recognized as being the USB 'capture image' boot device that has ImageX tool.
Disk 0 is recognized as drive C.
Disk 1 is recognized as drive D.
I captured the C:\ drive and the D:\ drive with the following commands.
Both completed successfully.
G:>ImageX /compress fast /BOOT /verify /check /flags "Enterprise" /capture C: G:\Drive_C_install.wim "Windows 7 Professional" "Windows 7 Professional Custom"
G:>ImageX /compress fast /verify /check /flags "Enterprise" /capture D: G:\Drive_D_install.wim "Windows 7 Professional" "Windows 7 Professional Custom"
I then replace the 2 physical disks with new ones. I used diskpart to select disk 0, create a partition, format, assign a size , assign letter C and mark C as active. Disk 1 also the same (except I did not mark disk 1 as active.
I then boot with bootable USB and now successfully apply the .wim files with the following commands.
G:>ImageX /apply /verify G:\Drive_C_install.wim 1 C:\
G:>ImageX /apply /verify G:\Drive_D_install.wim 1 D:\
However, when I boot up expecting to see a clean boot into Windows, instead I get the error of:
"BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I am thinking I did not capture the image properly? (I am able to see the files and folders actually did apply to the new hard drives by using a SATA hard drive docking station and seeing them on another PC)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
