Firmware boot USB receiving "Bootmgr is missing"
Hi folks! I'm running a msi windpad 110w-014us and trying to update the firmware to NOE1KUS1.302. I have created the USB just as instructed in the "How to build a bootable USB disk and update the EPF firmware" PDF and my Flash drive looks just as pictured in the instructions. However, whenever I try to boot from it I receive a "Bootmgr is missing" message. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
I found the issue. I was using too large of a flash drive (4GB). I switched to an old 1GB flash drive and it worked.

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.Hello,

Recovery Manager could not restore Presario CQ56 & system won't boot, gives error BOOTMGR is missing
1. Product Name and Number
Compaq Presario CQ56
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
Windows 7
3. Error message (if any)
from error log:
Hard Disk (result-failed) id# UAMBXQ-5H06AK-XD003F-618U03 HARD DISK 1
Start-up (result-failed) id# UAMBXQ-5H60AK-XD003F-40G403 MEMORY MODULE 2
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
There were no changes made to the computer, prior to the restore the computer would boot up, however, it would freeze after the system was up and running. Restarting the computer did not help and when I tried to restore it to an earlier point it said that it was unable to complete the restore. I then tried to the factory reset, however, it gave me an error message: "Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0ef0003. When I tried to restart the computer afterwards, it gave an error message: "BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". How do I fix this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello crossurmind.
What sorts of issues led up to the computer originally not booting? Were you getting a lot of blue screen errors?
The two items you posted from the error log seem to indicate that it is having trouble reading the hard drive and possibly the memory. After trying the restore it seems that it failed causing the boot section of the install to "not be found."
I think you should begin by using the built in tests for the hard drive and memory located in the BIOS. Follow this document to perform the hard drive test. All you'll have to do is repeat the process and select "memory" in order to perform the memory test. Make sure to post the result of both of these tests.
I will await the results; have a great day!

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. -
HP Touchsmart 310-1125Y - Missing USB Receiver, how can you get a replacement?
I purchased an HP Touchsmart 310-1125Y all-in-one computer and the USB Receiver is missing. Does HP sell replacement receivers? I tried searching but just found the part number of the mouse. The mouse's part number is 603289-001 and the keyboard is KG-0981.
The mouse/keyboard are fine, just no USB receiver. Anyone have any luck with "generic" receivers if such a thing exist?Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 310-1125y Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model was introduced for sale around two years ago. The specs also indicate that the USB mouse/keyboard wireless set use a 2.4GHz frequency. Have you checked on the bottom of the mouse??? Many mice have a little "pocket" to store the USB dongle. If the USB dongle is truly missing, HP's Part Surfer lists the mouse as "Part# 588485-001 - HP Mouse - Wireless, Optical (includes USB Receiver & Mouse)".

Hi all,
i recently used the Toshiba HDD recovery thing to restore my laptop to factory settings, while it was doing this it popped up saying it failed, I restarted and boots up to Toshiba logo then comes to a screen with just BOOTMGR is missing ctrl alt del to restart. Anyone know how I can solve this so it will work once more?
Laptop is Toshiba Qosimo X500 - 149
Thanks
HarryHello Harry
HDD recovery image is screwed up and you will not be able to start it anymore. Only way to install Toshiba recovery image is to use recovery DVD. Have you created one following Toshiba recovery reminder?
Here is original reminder message:
+Important INFORMATION+
+Your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. If you need to repair your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.+
+*Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer gets seriously damaged.*+ -
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. -
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). -
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing requires Information
My ideapad U310 doesn't boot any more after the boot procedure was interrupted by power outage.
A blue screen shows the following:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error Code: 0xc000000d
You'll need to use the recovery Tools on your installation Media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
Press ESC for UEFI Firmware SettingsI can only make one suggestion. Boot from usb Recovery flash drive and hope that the startup repair will do their magic to your unit.

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.

Cant even recover to factory says the bootmgr is missing, at a loss any suggestions?
pavilion dv5 vista error 1002 bootmgr is missing is the system even recoverable?
Hi,
In that case, as long as you have your set of Recovery Discs, I would try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then try reinstalling Vista as follows.
Using another PC, download and install Killdisk from the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire HDD ).
http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Recovery DVDs will reformat the HDD.
Insert this CD in to your notebook, shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ).
When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD, insert your first HP Recovery Disc and try the installation again.

DP-K

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. -
Windows 7 wont start anymore ; bootmgr is missing
Hi there,
Santa brought me a Toshiba laptop this year and I spent the night trying to install Arch Linux on it.
The machine came with two partitions, one containing Windows and one containing silly restauration files. I shrinked the second one to 10Go since it didnt need the 180Go it had, thus leaving room for Linux. This operation was made using Windows' graphical tool.
Then I booted on an Arch CD and entered manual setup for partitions.
It was like this :
sda1 * File System Unknown
sda2 NTFS //Windows
sda3 NTFS //Useless restauration
I made it this way :
sda1 * Linux (83)
sda2 NTFS //Windows
sda3 NTFS //Useless restauration
sda4 Extended
sda5 Linux (83)
sda6 Linux Swap / Solaris (82)
I mounted the filesystem's root to sda5 and the swap to sda6, and I told grub to install in sda1.
Windows wouldnt show up in grub ; I tried to tweak menu.lst but failed at solving the issue, now I suppose the Windows section was a comment but I didnt notice back then. Thus I thought I had done something wrong and I booted on the arch CD again and this time I mounted /boot to sda1 and installed grub to sda (and I assume sda meant MBR).
Windows still didnt show up in grub's menu. I looked at menu.lst again and noticed the windows section was preceded by # which made it useless. I removed the sharps and it still doesnt work (see below).
Now fdisk -l outputs :
sda1 Linux (83)
sda2 * HPFS/NTFS // (Why the fuck is this one bootable ? Oops ?)
sda3 HPFS/NTFS
sda4 Extended
sda5 Linux (83)
sda6 Linux Swap / Solaris (82)
menu.lst has :
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel blablabla
initrd blablabla
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel blababla
initrd blablabla
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Now Windows appear in the grub menu but when I try to boot it it says "BOOTMGR is missing, hit ctrl+alt+suppr to reboot".
Arch Linux still works fine.
I think I can fix the misplaced * by reinstalling again and remanaging partitions but I'm clueless about how to launch Windows 7 again. Could it be possible that the partition's content was wiped during the Archlinux install (I never touched it in the partition managing menus nor mounted anything there) ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Last edited by fil_razorback (2009-12-25 04:41:25)Thank you pointone, you helped me understanding what was going on and it's all good now.
sda3 was a recovery partition (there was a readme on it) and it was used when I put the recovery DVD in the machine. This DVD wasn't able to reinstall just the bootloader so it put everything back to factory settings.
I started all over and got it working, this time leaving untouched sda1 and putting grub on the MBR. My dual boot now works
Also, thanks Ghost1227 for the good laugh -
I have an iMac running 10.8.
I recently installed windows 7 using boot camp.
During the installation I got an error that installation had failed.
Upon rebooting I now get bootmgr is missing. I have tried booting holding alt,cmd,t,c and eject. I can't get in to any OS I go away in the morning and I need to do some work before I go, please help.I have figured it out. For anyone in a similar position, plug a wired mouse in, press power on the hold the left mouse button, the drive will eject the windows dis. Then reboot. This time hold the right alt button on your keyboard, select the macintosh partition. Done.

Cannot get NB305 to boot USB drive to install Ubuntu 9.10 remix
I've created the Ubuntu 9.10 remix boot USB drive on another linux system. I've altered the NB305 BIOS to boot from the USB stick first. But whenever I restart the light on the USB stick flickers then the netbook continues by booting from the hard drive, i.e. Windows 7 starter. Any suggestions?
I've created the USB drive twice. The first on a MAC using the exact steps defined on the page

That one wouldn't boot, so I tried a SUSE Linux approach which I found googling which suggested:
