Formatting volumes (partitions) removes the operating system and recovery partition. I don't see that as an viable recovery or repair strategy.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
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. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

The recovery mode is missing and now i can't install the software , what can i do?

The recovery mode is missing , what i can do to acces again, becalisme now i can'T install the software

If you got the Mac new before July 20, 2011, call AppleCare for the original discs.
If you got the Mac new before March 15, 2010, get the 10.6 retail installer disc from the http://store.apple.com/
If you got the Mac new after July 20, 2011, boot with command-R.
If you have no backup, get a data recovery tool as the hard drive may be failing if command-R doesn't work and the aforementioned solutions don't help.
If it doesn't work but have a backup, you may need to get a new hard drive, or repair the directory with a tool such as Alsoft Disk Warrior.

Satellite U205-S5057 reformat error : BOOTMGR missing

hi,
I am trying to reformat the hard drive of my Satellite U205-S5057 using the Toshiba recovery disks. When i first booted with the recovery disk i chose the out-of-the-box factory default reformatting option. After it had finished erasing all the data, it rebooted and started copying files from the recovery disks. I got this "BOOTMGR missing" error when i was told to insert the second disk. The Hard drive is good - has been working fine till now. My guess is this is some sort of software issue related to the reformatting. Any suggestion?
I read somewhere i should try copying the recovery disk because it might fix the error. Is that right? Also, the disks are apparently DVD formate, is it possible to download the recovery software on a CD (since i only have CD R/W and DVD R/O)
Thanks
Liz

I bought Toshiba A200 - part no. PSAF6A-02J01N - serial no. 77100112Q in September 07.
I have made a recovery disk of the system onto DVD (2 in total - ie disk 1 and 2), prior to using / installing personal software in my new notebook. I had much difficulty in "seeing" other Windows XP computers on my existing network (I am using Linksys Wireless/Wired router). The XP computers can "see" my Toshiba but can not share or access the Toshiba data, which is running Vista Home Premium.
The more I changed the network settings, the slower my Toshiba appeared.
I did a reinstall using the Toshiba recovery but that failed and I could no longer get back into the Windows Desktop.
When I used the recovery DVD I had burned from this laptop earlier, I followed the menu, which made me delete all data and partition. This step was successful. However, after a long period of copying files from the recovery dvd no.1, I got the message: "Recovery Error 10-FC06-0002" . It never asked for the 2nd DVD!
Other attempts included wiping the partition using the recovery DVD. At one time, I got the message:
Yukon PXE v5.17.2.3 (20061031)
Pre-boot eXecution Env (PXE) v2.1
PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXEROM
I tried to install WXP professional from an orginial DVD but it would not install - saying that XP setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in the computer!

*EDIT*
Have solved the issue installing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager firstly ;)
Thanks to all!

More 'Bootmgr missing' problems

Hello,
What am I missing? I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7462 with Windows Vista. It gives me a 'BOOTMGR is missing' on start up. I have no Toshiba disks. I can get into command prompt using a generic recovery disk found online. If I try the start up-repair option, it does not find the Vista operating system. It appears that the partitions (C:, Boot-X, E: Toshiba System Volume) seem to be intact and occupied. I have tried the 'hold zero and power up' and it gives the same 'bootmgr missing' message. I have tried to research it several places and none of the 'fixes' work. Is there something that can perhaps be done from the command prompt to recover the machine? I am not really concerned with saving the old data, just in getting back a working machine. ANY suggestions or direction will be appreciated. Sid

Well, I tried, anyway. The only thing I seem to find on this forum are reports of 'lack of customer support' by Toshiba, which will, at least, stand me in good stead when I choose my next computer (which may not be long at this rate<G?>). I have the hard drive mounted in another computer and all the directories/files, WinPE, TOSIMG, etc seem to be available, but what to do with them from here or the command prompt is another question. The final report in the repair log file is "Root cause found: --------------------------- Boot manager is missing or corrupt." Just where it is, was or should be is well beyond me. Can it be found or reconstructed anywhere with the hard drive or must I do a format and new install? Again, thanks and any ideas appreciated. Sid

PowerBook G4 HD erease, now I can't install OS X

I had many issue with my Power Book G4.
My HD was earese, ( I select to over write 8 times my HD in the erase pop menu)
In my mind to perform a cleran instal, now I tryed to instal OS 10.4 from the origianl CD that came with the machine, but I can't select the HD. I got this reponse, can't instal, neewd to partition.
I did but it does not work.
Any solution?
Thank you,

OK, no Options... is probably correct, as that button didn't show up right away in Tiger Disk Utility windows. That means that you should be defaulting to APM when you partition the disc.
You should be able to verify the partition map scheme in the Disk Utility window when you select the hard drive (the drive itself, not the Macintosh volume under it. You should see some information at the bottom of the DU window like the following:
Then, when you select the volume icon, you will see the actual directory format in the same area at the bottom of the DU window, something like this:
It may look a bit different on your install disc, as these screen shots are from version 10.5.6 of DU, while the install/restore disc would probably be 10.5.5 or earlier.

Bootmgr missing dv7t-4100

Have a dv7t-4100 whose disk drive would crash after 10 min of play when I first got it. Calling inti support didn't help and I didn't worry about it because I don't really use it.
So a year later my computer crashes and recovery wouldn't go past classpnp. So hp warranty sent me a new hard drive.
Now it'll go through the 2 recovery discs and ejects them. Then the final phase it freezes @a 12%. If I restart it, the bootmgr is missing. I've tried changing where it reads the cd drive first. I can get to system restore/repair before the bootmgr missing screen pops up. How do I repair this?

Try the following process.
Download and create the bootable CD as described on the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-80183-1&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
When you have created this CD, insert it into the system that is unable to boot, restart it and wait until you see a window with a green check mark. Then remove the CD. Shutdown the notebook and start it again with no Disc inserted in the CD/DVD Drive. Then insert your first Recovery DVD. Restart the notebook and go through the process of installing the Operating System again.
If the above fails to correct the issue, post back with the full version of the operating system you are trying to install ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).

Show Current Date in Year Format (and now - 1, etc.)

Our form has some column headers that need to change each year, the headings are current year (2010) + previous 3 years. Am trying to programatically add the titles to eliminate modifying the form just to change the year, but not finding how to accomplish, and was checking out some date samples found, but no success yet. My question is 2 part - how/where do I put code, I don't need the user to enter anything, just want a column header. This example below is where I copied the idea from a sample and tried to adjust, it's on the calculate event of a date/time field, and I get an error message that says 'the display pattern "date-{MM/DD]" is incompatible with the object's data format. Define a compatible Display pattern. This display pattern error is the 2nd part of the question. How do I display only the 4 digit year?
year1.rawValue
= num2date(date(), "YYYY")
How do I accomplish this - am newbie on this! Thank you very much!

A: Show Current Date in Year Format (and now - 1, etc.)

1) I typically use a hidden field to capture the current date on the layout:ready event.
2) If year1 is a date object your script is valid but you are probably missing the display pattern date{YYYY} on year1.
If year1 is a text field you could could capture current year in a hidden field as
// form1.page1.currentYear::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
$.rawValue = Num2Date(Date(), "YYYY")
where currentYear has the display pattern date{YYYY} and add
this.rawValue = form1.page1.currentYear.rawValue;
to the calculate event of year1.

BOOTMGR Missing during reimage

Been having trouble with my Satellite P755-S5120 for a while. It would turn off randomly while I was using it, and turn off or restart during boot up. So I backed up my files on an external hard drive and started the process to restore to factory condition. I got to the point where the Toshiba Recovery Wizard was up and running, initializing the process, when the laptop shut down. I waited a few minutes and nothing happened, then finally it restarted with the message "Bootmgr missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart"
Did a little research and found that if I had the Windows install disk (I do) I could repair my pc by booting from the cd. I see that to do this I need to go into the BIOS and change my settings to boot from CD. Problem is, when I turn on the computer it goes immediately to the bootmgr is missing, so I can't get to the BIOS to change the setting.
So, is there any way I can bypass this to get to the BIOS? Or any other steps I could take to get the system restore process going again?

Usually if tapping F2 doesn't work to get into the BIOS, try holding it as you start the laptop. You should also be able to get to the boot menu by tapping F12 or holding F12 as you start the laptop.

BOOTMGR missing ( no data on laptop can be found)

Hi, I've purchased an HP Pivillion G6z notebook PC a month ago and my lil nefhew accidently knock down my laptop. it's shut down right away after that i try turing it back on again and again but the white letter keep showing up " BOOTMGR missing" I've tried to find many possibles ways to try and fix it but i chouldn't. I log into hp home site and try to fine the solutions and i have but the problem is that i do NOT think i have gotten a Recovery CD or anything. i've read many solution and all it's lead me to is the "recovery CD" so how do i get a recovery cd? how much does it cost? please help.

Hi,
I would suggest trying the following procedure first of all - this should tell you whether there is a physical ( ie Hardware ) problem with the notebook of if the operating system just needs to be reinstalled.
If you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your original OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself on another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers you may need can be found Here.
Does this install Ok?

Notebook shows BOOTMGR missing after running return system to factory condition

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook Model #dv7 3163cl. First I need to say I am a beginner user. My problem started with a low battery issue. Then using recovery mgr. I first ran back up disks and then attempted system restore. During which it shut off. When I tried to restart it it originally said something about starting like new from factory. Then said unable to load windows program. I contacted hp and tech had me purchase a 1 year phone support plan. Then had me go th the recovery manager and select restore to factory image. During which it gave this message. Recovery Manager could not restore computer using the fzctory image. Please contact HP support. Error code 0xe0ef0003. He said that meant I need a new hard drive. Now when I turn it on it says BOOTMGR Missing. Use ctrl apt Del to start but that does not work. It does nothing. Could the tech be right? Is there a way I can check my disk first? Or another way to tell? It wasn't the original problem so I'm not confident in his determination. Should I be?
This question was solved.

Immediately after powering on tap the Esc key. This should bring up a menu of which F2 is what you want to choose. Use Diagnostics to test your hard drive.

Files missing from install directory

not sure what's happened to my computer but I can no longer install programs or updates for programs as I get the message "files missing from install directory"
How did they get corrupt in the first place? I get this when trying to download yahoo messenger of all programs...duh! I'm getting pretty frustrated since this has only started a month ago and I've been hoping something would fix itself but no....the last time my Toshiba service station updated was Jan 24 and now it says unable to connect with server....yet I got here to post a message and can get to the internet so don't understand why the updates can get in?
any advice?

that can be a problem with your windows.. your OS..
rebuilding your OS should be able to fix it.

I created a logo on illustrator made of three layers. the file is still on ai format. Now I am ready

Also I am creating a business card using adobe illustrator. I already have the logo in ai format. Now after I create all the design do I need to flatten the
card lay out or do I just take it to the print shop in AI format

Dont flatten the layers, the print may want to add a die. I would also save a copy as .pdf format, as some printers just want to palce teh file, without spending time on missing fonts or placed images.
So bring 2 versions of the same file, a .ai along with a .pdf. Then also gather your fonts and placed images.

Formatted volumes. now bootmgr missing. no install cd no backup cd
