How tot get rid of missing bootmgr ctrl alt del to restart

I've got a MacBook pro and I tried installing windows through bootcamp but when I did I had to burn windows 7 to a DVD and when it was burning, it said burn fail verification fail. I ignored this and used that DVD to install but when I did it stopped installing and it stayed an 0% so I cancelled it and thought I can do it again but when I tried again it said bootmgr missing.
I searched on how to fix this and I found a person with a similar problem and I was told in that forum to put in my leopard dvd and hold down c at the start and so i did but my laptop came with snow leopard and I have installed lion on it so I don't know what to do.... It is still doing something after I put in the DVD and held down c.
I Need Help!
Thx...

Hi,
Although im new to answering questions, i had have had a similar problem myself to this. You should boot into the Recovery Snow Leopard DVD and try and access the build in Disk Utility, although i am not sure if it is present on the Snow Leopard it definetly is on the Lion DVD. Once you are on Disk Utility try to partition your hard drive, any amount however small and then partition back to the old partition. This in my experience should reset the boot files.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!
Please leave feedback if this works for you!
Thanks
(You should always but the official Windows 7 disk and make a backup of your laptop regularly, and always make sure the disk is verified (dont touch your laptop while it burns)

Error message NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart

Hello,
I am extremely embarrassed to admit the following and ridiculously angry with myself for doing something as totally stupid as I did, but it is done now..sigh..
I have the NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart nightmare error.
This is how it happened. I need(ed) to reformat my hard drive, but first I was going to back up everything. I back up every so often, though, now I know not near as often as I should!. (last back up was 5/21/07 sigh.) Well, not thinking, instead of backing up, I put the restore cd in the drive and the screen came up saying: "loading ramdisk" then I got to the next screen which basically was asking if I wanted to restore out of the box or not. I chose the first step in the wizard which said out of the box. Then I clicked NEXT and realized I had not backed up my files!! So I cancelled out of the restore cd wizard.
When I restarted the computer, I got the aforementioned nightmare error.
I have been researching for many, many hours on how to fix it or at least be able to boot into windows. I've done the following:
1. created a floppy boot disk with ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini on it to restore I have all but I don't know if the dates mean anything on the ones downloaded from another laptop
this did not work I still came up with the same error or some other errors one pointing to hal\something. i am not sure if it is my boot.ini that is causing the problem or what. Oh, by the way, I went into the BIOS and made sure that the computer booted up to FDD first when trying the floppy option.

Hi
Its a very stupid and tricky situation.
The simplest solution would be the HDD formatting and new reinstallation of the OS.
But it seems you want to rescue all the files available on the HDD.
Hopefully its not too late
Hmmm. I think youve got only one chance!!! You have to remove the internal HDD from the notebook and try to connect it to second PC via external USB controller!!!!
Such part is not expensive and can be ordered from every notebook dealer.
You should be able to get the access to the HDD removed from notebook....
After this procedure the HDD should be formatted in NTFS and all partition should be erased!
Then you should try to start the installation procedure from the Windows or Recovery CD.
By the way; I have investigate a little bit in the Microsoft database and found these both documents:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314057
Maybe some hints described in these documents could be useful.
Good luck

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.

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

Satellite L630 - Bootmng miss press ctrl alt canc to restart

Hi all,
I have a toshiba L630 with Win 7 premium family OS.
After a failed backup procedure when i start my cpu i read the following message:
+Bootmng miss press ctrl alt canc to restart.+
I think my cpu died.
Please help me to resolve this problem.
I don't have the repair cd and no os install CD.

I presume you meant to type Bootmgr. There are a lot of tutorials on the web on how to repair this problem. I don't know any way to fix the problem without a W7 disk. If you cannot borrow a W7 disc or a W7 recovery disc (from any machine) then you either have to buy a disc from Toshiba or for 10 US$ you can buy a recovery disc from [http://systemdiscs.com/] . This appears to be a reputable site - linked to in posts on Microsoft's own forum.

HP Elitebook 8560w Won't Boot UP -- Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart

Hello. I have an Elitebook 8560w, that won't boot up. The screen says "Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart". The screen isn't all black...there are some random colored square pixels with a random flashing !, but it's mostly black.
I've run the diagnostics and the F4 Hard Disk Test has passed everytime I've run it. I can hear the hard drive running, so mechanically it's okay (not sure on the logic side).
The F3 Run-in Test fails under the Memory Test, it reads "Run-in test failed - Failed Memory Address 0x76B99000 Pattern expected - 0XFEFFFF Pattern Read - OxFFFFFF
I tried a new 4GB DDDR RAM (removed the old one), and it hasn't helped. I should add before I changed RAM, it failed memory test and said "Disk Not Found".
That made me think it was the hard drive, but the hard drive test has always passed.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost. I have a new drive and ram coming from HP, but hoping I can salvage info on HDD.
Also...the computer was set up with Windows 7 as new, but my company reimages everyone's computer and installs XP. So I'm not sure running the HP CD (assuming I can find it) would even help.

Disk read failure and disk not found are classic signs of a hard drive failure. The memory failed the test, so it looks like this had two issues at once.
The good news is that the right parts are on their way. If you want to save your data, do not use the recovery disks for the system. They will wipe the hard drive if it is still functional for them.
With regards to retrieving your data, have you talked to the IT team yet? Most IT departments have a process for data retrieval on company equipment.
If they do not have a process setup to do that, then you could try getting a notebook hard drive external enclosure. They usually run fairly cheap for a basic enclosure and that is enough to connect the hard drive externally to a different computer using a USB cable to copy data from it. This would work provided they do not encrypt the hard drive. If they do encrypt it, contact the IT team for their process as encryption limits the methods that are available.

How to get rid of missing link dialog?

Hello All,
Here is the description of the problem I am facing..
From the indesign document I am exporting some incopy files.I close the indesign document and then I relocate the incopy files to some other location.
Now I again reopen the indesign file, while opening, the missing link dialog pops up which asks for either not to fix the links or fixing the links automatically.
How can I do the same thing programatically so that the Missing dialog will never pops up.
So here are my two requirements.
1) How to relink the files programatcally
2) How to get rid of the missing link dialog.(also what is the widgetID of this dialog.?)
I posted this question before also but couldn't get the solution.
I tried every possible way available in sdk
i.e using
IUpdateLink
kRestoreLinkCmdBoss
IInCopyDocUtils
etc.
But I was unable to relink the files as well as supressing the missing link dialog.
Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Yopangjo

How to get rid of missing font "Wingdings Light Italic"?

The screenshot shows a bulleted list. The text is set in Myriad Pro Light Italic. The bullet is a square symbol from Wingdings, which I guess is trying to adapt to the styles from the body text, resulting in Wingdings Light Italic, which obviously does not exist.
I have tried using a separate character style for the bullet, setting the font to Wingdings regular. Also, I tried to simply delete the whole text frame, but the missing font keeps showing up, weirdly enough.
The bullets are displayed perfectly. I just would like to get rid of that missing font error. Any ideas?

That somehow did the trick. Replaced Wingdings Light Italic with Wingdings Regular. Replaced all, and redefined styles. Thanks.

How to get rid of missing link dialog? (again)

Hi,
This topic was in the archive.
I have pretty much the same problem. Because of the work flow used by my customer it is common for documents and image data to be moved. To deal with this my plugin checks for missing links and fixes them while opening the document. The problem is that in CS3 a dialog is posted reporting missing or out of date links even when they have already been fixed.
The solution that was used in the original posting was to disable UI when opening the document. In my case this shotgun approach is not acceptable to the customer since they do not know what other dialogs may be disables that are of interest.
The dialog appears to be a generic warning dialog but I am unable to get a hold of it to close it. I am not sure if this is because at the time of my link fix up it has not yet been posted.
Any help would be appreciated,
Barry

"A disk read error has occurred; press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A205-S5804) running Windows Vista Home Premium; I have had this laptop since 2008. All of a sudden, it decided to crash on me the other day. I also have been having issues with my CD-ROM drive as well; it won't seem to start up the CDs I put it in automatically. I have to give it a few tries for it actually work.
I took the Recovery, Applications/Drivers CD to see where that might get me to solve this problem. I finally have gotten to the point where it has asked me to start Windows in Safe Mode and in other options. Just when I think I have gotten to work, it's newest stopping point is getting it into safe mode, but then just the mouse pointer is showing and nothing else but a black screen. I've done this several times now.
So with all this being said, is there anything else I can do? I've tried hitting F8, I've tried holding down the 0 (zero) key to bring up the default Toshiba restore thing right when my computer starts, but that's not even working.
Guess my main question is, do you think that my data has already been lost? Or what? Kind of hard to say, I'm sure.
Hope to hear from somone soon
Thanks

It's unclear exactly what you did with the 'Recovery, Applications/Drivers CD'. So, your data may or may not be already gone.
The Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator program does not appear in your model's list of installed software. But, the recovery utility is mentioned in the recovery section, starting on page 57 of your User's Guide, with the proviso 'Available on certain models'. Your system came out on the cusp of when Toshiba began consistently installing the recovery partition on their HDDs. So, you may or may not have it.
To try running the Toshiba Recovery from the HDD one more time. Power off your unit, press and hold down the '0' (zero) key, power on your unit, keep holding the '0' key down until you hopefully see the Toshiba Recovery Wizard menu, you could then return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup.
However, if you can and do run this, your data will definitely be gone. Do you have data you wish to try to save?

HDX 16 1370 us notebook/ Windows 7 upgrade/ Boot Manager Missing hit ctrl + alt _ delete to restart

Hard drive was going south. I replaced it with new one. The original OS was Vista but I had upgraded to windows 7 a year ago. I placed the Windows 7 CD into the optical drive and windows begin to load. I got past the point of the screen that ask for language and so forth then my dog jumped on me and pulled the power cord from the computer. I plugged the cord back in and tried to restart the process. Now the first thing that happens is I get the message Bootmgr missing hit ctrl alt delete to restart.
I do not know what to do now.
I can't get into command prompt from shift+ F10, so I am totally lost. Is there any hope??
Thanks

Are you saying that you inserted the Windows 7 upgrade disc to boot to? Was Windows Vista already installed on the hard drive? Have you run the hard drive test in BIOS?

How can I disable ctrl+alt+del and other keys

I need help on how to disable some keyboard key combinations (ctrl+alt+del)in particular. Disabling other keyboard keys is equally welcomed.
Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager from exposing my running program to be terminated.
Thanks

Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager
from exposing my running program to be terminated.This can be done by limiting the permissions of the Windows user that you would like to prevent from doing this. The user manager lets you do this.

HP g7 Laptop - "A Read Disk Error Has Occured - Use Ctrl Alt Delete to restart"

I recently ran into a problem with my HP g7 Laptop. Purchased from Fry's less than 8 months ago.
The issue i ran into is - when turning on the Laptop
1st the monitor did not appear to come on...but it had its just that the montior was not
showing illuminence...
i ran into the DOS message:
"A read disk error has occured
Use ctrl alt delete to restart"
which i did but did not work. I took apart the laptop to examine the hard drive and based on visual review did not appear to be damaged. Though I was shocked to see the hard drive is a SEAGATE product! which i have found to be a NOT RELIABLE hard drive product. I feared the worst knowing i had lost what I had saved and backed up on the C/D drive portion of the Hard Drive. Using a Flashlight to see what appeared on the monitor, I was able to perform the HP Recovery options on the computer but each option ended with the computer replying to the effect the it could not detect or there was no hard drive or c: - anything...which confused me because why was the laptop allowing to performing the recovery options. The last option i tried was to restore laptop to original factory settings. When it completed and I click the button for the system to restart the next error message i received was that "BOOTMRG missing - use ctrl alt delete to restart"
which again did not work.
Can you please bottom line it for me...have i experienced a HD crash and if so how can i know if this is covered under manufacture warrenty? It is upsetting to know that only after 8months of having this product, which i have been very happy with, until now, that the HD experiences a crash. none of the reviews for this product that i have read indicates this problem occuring!
if this is a HD crash, also i am going to have to purchase a new HD correct, if not covered under warrenty?
please help! spending over $600 for the Laptop and it only lasting a little over 8 months is not acceptable!
Sincerely
Frustrated Customer
San Jose, CA

Hi admiral74,
Call in and speak to a customer service rep. That will be the only way to know if it is still covered by warranty.
Good luck!
