Missing BOOTMGR Windows Vista No Disk

Hello,
I need some help. After doing a "Factory Recovery," my laptop won't boot to windows vista. After booting, it won't finish the "Factory Recovery" process, and it ends with a black screen with the words "Missing BOOT MGR Crtl+Alt+Esc."
The laptop(G60-125NR) didn't come with anything. I HAVE NO DISK OF WINDOWS VISTA. It was only already installed in the laptop.
Can anyone help me with this?
Here are the details.
I tried pressing F11 or F10 - the factory recovery screen - and used both the hard drive partition and then the recovery disks I created before the factory recovery-thing. Hard drive ended with error 1005 and using the disk I got error 1002. Both telling me to contact HP.
Purchased a Boot Disk and it got me to System Recovery Options. There, I could not select on any operating system. I don't even know which Drives to add. Plus, as I was trying to see in the folderfs, nothing was comming up. So I just clicked on Next and tried the Startup Repair option. After a while it said that Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. It still says MissingBootManager on the details.
At the Windows Boot Manager screen,
Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]
But on the tools;
File \boot\memtest.exe
Status: oxcoooooof
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupted.
I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Actually there are no comments regarding Vista version under notes for 10.2.0.3.
If You look at certify matrix under
http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
and search by Platform, then under Vista and 10gR2 You will see following notes:
Oracle Database (EE, SE, PE and Client) are supported on these platforms:

Enterprise Edition
Ultimate Edition
Home edition is not supported!
But what I can suggest.
Look into listner.log - are there any errors.
Try to restart listener from the command line
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
Try to recreate listener service

Windows Vista install disk for my Mac?

I have just installed Windows vista onto my Mac but when using boot camp it only gives me the option of creating a Windows 7 install disk. Does anybody know where I can get a Windows Vista install disk? Thanks

No doubt if you Google for it you will find vendors. Check with amazon.com, too.

Windows Vista reinstallation disks for my 7387 A11 whose hard drive died

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Just over three years ago I bought a Lenovo 3000 J Series, model 7387 A11. Last weekend my hard drive began failing to the point that it wouldn't let the machine boot. So I bought a new PC and hooked up the failing hard drive to it as a secondary drive.  With much coaxing and rebooting I managed to copy all the files on the main partition of the failing hard drive to my new PC's primary hard drive. Yea!
But now I've bought a new hard drive to replace the failed one in Lenovo machine, and am stuck at the stage of getting the machine to recognize the new hard drive, since it has no operating system.
I read on one of these threads that one option would be to call Lenovo and ask for reinstallation disks for the Windows Vista operating system. So I called the phone number, but the message there says that since I'm out of warranty I should try to get help on the Lenovo website. So here I am.
Can you help me?
Thanks,

After the reinstallation, it shows these 2 hard drives separately..
As the spec above shows, that model has a single physical hard drive. What you are seeing are partitions in that drive. This Toshiba article explains what they are for.
   1.46GB partition and other small partition are for the System Recovery Options and the factory softw...
I tried to use the Windows Disk Management menu (in he control panel) to combine them, but that failed. I then tried again using the command line Diskpart command, but it gave an error that it couldn't merge partitions from separate disks. So is there any way to combine them back into one volume..?
Best to leave those partitions alone to function as designed.

Windows Vista No Disk Error

Greetings,
I have installed Oracle 10g Enterprise undee Windows Vista Home Edition using oracle proper installer for this OS. The installation went pretty well and so was the aftermath when I created a database and several schemas. A few days ago I have started getting a very strange and persistent error everytime Oracle's TNS and Listener are referred. The error comes fro Windows and states "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x764F92A0 0x00000004 0x764F292A0 0x764F292A0" and the options I am prompted for are Cancell, Try Again and Continue. Whatever option I go to has to be hit over and over for about 7 times so that the message stops popping and I can continue. I say this error is reated to ORacle's TNS and Listener because when I try sqlplus /nolog I get no error, but if I enter the full connection string like slplus user/password@dbsid I get the error. The same error comes on TOAD when I first open it and it reads the TNSNAMES file to bring the TNS's within the file.
Past this error by cancellin, trying again and again or continuing, all DB functionalities are just fine, no alerts, nor critical errors... Pretty weird hmm? Does anyone have any suggestion on what the issue is and what can be done to fix it?
Appreciate all your inputs on this matter.

Mac Pro missing "Create Windows 7 Install Disk"

Okay well when i try to use bootcamp as i already bought a copy of windows 7. The Create Windows 7 Install Disk option is not there for me. In every tutorial to setup bootcamp has had that option. Is my bootcamp messed up or did i do something wron? Specs: 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 6GB 1066Mhz OS X 10.8.2 Thanks

Your Mac Pro must be newer than a Mac Pro 5,1, and must have a minimum ROM version in order to use the USB installer you are looking for. If your machine is older, or doesn't have the correct ROM versions, then you need to use the "old fashioned" disc install method....

Windows Vista recovery disk

I want to order a recovery disk for my laptop, however when i give them the computer's serial number and part number they tell me to select which disk i would like to purchase but the only option they give me is one with 64bit however my computer is running vista 32bit would i still be able to restore my computer or do i need the 32bit? If so what can i do to order it because this is my only option: SW Media - DVD-Satellite-L300-Win Vista 64bit Home Premium-EN as you can see it has 64bit.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
This is my serial number: 89577426Q
And Part number: PSLB8U-14F025

Hi Chicharito,
I've forwarded the problem info to the people who manage the recovery media database so that it can be corrected. Meanwhile, if you send me a Private Message with your daytime phone number I will also send that to Customer Service and request that they contact you.
In case you weren't aware of this option, if your laptop is currently operating normally you should be able to restore the original hard disk image by first shutting down Windows and then holding down the zero ('0') key while the system boots up. You should also be able to run the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn your own set of recovery media onto blank discs.
Of course, you should also be able to order the correct recovery media so do send me a Private Message with the requested info if you'd like to continue down that path. To access Private Messages, click on the small envelope icon in the upper right area of this and most forum pages. From there, click the 'Compose New Message' tab and enter "jim" in the 'Send To' field.

Error: Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

PLEASE HELP!
My Lenovo SL500 is not working at all - I get error: "Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
I tried the following on my Lenovo:
Windows repair menu = "windows cannot be repaired"
Lenovo Rescue and Repair
Rescued my files from Hard-drive (copied to external hdd)
Restore System = Failed
Diagnose hardware = HDD passes all tests
Don't know what else to do with = Boot from another device ? Access BIOS?
Because I do not have the windows vista install disks
I purchased and downloaded the recovery disks from neosmart.net
The neosmart windows vista recovery disks DO NOT WORK = Error is "Unable to find any valid Windows partitions on this computer".
The Hard-drive exists because I was able to back-up files from HD through (Lenovo Rescue & Recovery Rescue files). So there is a hard-drive.
I don't know what to do next?
Last resort is to Factory Restore via either the Lenovo R&R or Windows Vista Recovery Disks (neosmart)?
Will I still have windows?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi, Josemne
Yes, if you can restore the system through Rescue & Recovery, then you will still have WIndows on your machine, but all your files will be deleted from the hard drive. Luckily, you have already saved those files elsewhere. I would recommend trying to restore the system and see if that works.
Best,
Adam

Lost Windows Vista password

Our non-profit has a Levono G500 with Vista installed. The person who was the user unfortunately recently passed away - and now we have no way of accessing the system as no one knows the password to Windows. I am pretty sure that we have to reload the OS - but of course we don't get the disks when we buy a system . . .so....anyone know how to one would go about getting the Windows Vista installation disks that match up with the product key on the back of the machine?
Any assistance is appreciated - I can't seem to find any mention of this on any of the forums . . .

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.

Ran Windows 7 Check Disk on iPod - Songs Now Missing?

I posted this on another forum and didn`t get a response so I`ll ask it here:
Problem description: I connected my 80GB iPod Video to my netbook and Windows 7 came up asking me if I wanted to scan and fix problems on my iPod. I foolishly said okay and told it to, selecting both Automatically Fix File System Errors and Scan For and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors. It took about an hour to complete and afterwards when it connected in iTunes, it didn't recognize it despite recognizing it before check disk. I've connected it dozens of times to my netbook with no problems before today. iTunes began syncing (which it wasn't supposed to do) and freed up about 7GB of space on it before I realized what it was doing. Right now, in iTunes, Winamp and the iPod itself, no songs, videos, playlists or anything show up in it. iTunes claims 66GB is being taken up by "Other" with 7.5GB of "Free Space." Now, when I go into the iPod through windows explorer and go into the folder iPod_Control, all the music still seems to be there and I can listen to the songs in Winamp by opening them from iPod_Control, so why can't iTunes or the iPod find the files? Is there a good data recovery fix for this? Is there some hopefully easy fix I don't see?
Attempted fixes: Looked for iPod recovery programs, saw a trillion listed on Google of varying degrees of authenticity. Googled for ipod-related check disk problems and found a blog saying it erased his playcounts (oh no). Tried disconnecting and reconnecting iPod. Tried disconnecting, resetting and reconnecting iPod. Tried rebooting computer and reconnecting iPod. Tried connecting iPod to different computer it connected to before. Same story each time.
Recent changes: Windows 7 Check Disk, that's all I've done to it. It worked fine yesterday, last night and this morning until I ran Check Disk.
Operating system: 32-Bit Windows 7, evaluation copy, Build 7100.
System specs: Asus 1005HA: Intel Atom N280, 2GB Crucial Notebook Memory, Mobile Intel Express 945GME, 160GB HDD. iPod: Model MA448C, 5.5 Generation 80GB Video iPod, Software Version 1.3. iTunes Version 8.2.1.6
I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes
What would cause this to happen? Why can't anything see the songs unless I manually open them? How do I fix this?

After countless days trying to solve this problem, I feel I can now add to the few solutions presented on the various forums of the internet. I'll post here because 1: i'm a mac user for everyday life although like most have as many pc's as well. 2: I already have a login for these forums!
okay so i tried everything from re-burns to usb install (which I could not complete because removable drives are not recognized by xp and I don't have a vista system). The problem for me ended up being because the DVD drive was plugged into the primary master ide channel. My hard drive for the unit i was installing windows on is sata and was configured as such (not bridged into IDE channel by bios). So in a nutshell it seems like the hard drive and the DVD drive are nit picky in regards to the IDE configuration of the drives themselves. This won't help for virtualization on a mac pro I realize but nonetheless is food for thought hopefully for all the people searching for " windows 7 install cd/dvd device driver missing " in their search engine!
Oh boy one more reason to love mac's

Windows Vista Home Premium Recovery Disks won't work

Have original disks for this Toshiba A215. The hard drive failed so put in new hard drive. Got the missing boot manager message. so a tecn person used a cd and reformated the new hard drive. Still wouldn't run the recovery disks to install to factory defaults. the Windows Vista sticker still on the computer with the activation code. So borrowed an install disk from a friend, but won't activate. Says it's not a valid activation code. and still won't recognize my recovery disks. starts to run the recovery program then gives message - cannot enumerate. What does it want to enumerate??

cannot enumerate.
Try resetting the BIOS from AHCI mode to IDE or Compatibility or whatever you find there.
Most likely the trouble is caused by a hard disk with advanced-format technology. After restoring, there will be more to do.
Which Satellite A215? Always tell us that. There is a label on the bottom.

Windows Vista "Disk is locked" Error

ITunes reports "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk" or "You do not have write permissions for this folder" in Windows Vista.
I know that there is a suggested fix for XP using TweakUI, but I can't find anything to help in Vista.
I've tried removing and reinstalling, but that didn't help.
I'm using a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate.
My iTunes music files and library were previously working in Vista before the computer was reformatted (Adobe CS3 upgraders will know why I had to that).
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Which error are you getting? Are you getting the "locked disk" or the "cannot be found or created"?

I want to install Windows 7 in bootcamp on my imac with Lion 10.7, but only have a Windows 7 upgrade disk. I also have a full Vista. Can I install in bootcamp using the Windows 7 upgrade disk? If so, what do I need to know about how?

Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 on my imac in bootcamp. I have a windows 7 upgrade disk and a full vista disk. Normally on a PC I would install Vista, then upgrade to Windows 7. I see that bootcamp 4 only supports Windows 7.
Can I install the Windows 7 upgrade disk without first installing Vista? Will this work in bootcamp?
Thanks,
Jim

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.
