BOOTMGR is missing
Thanks for all of the suggestions, but unfortunately none of them have worked for me.
Backstory: I used EASUS Partition Manager to delete a partition on my secondary HD. (The C: drive is on its own 80GB platter; the partition I deleted shares a 1TB platter with my documents.) After EASUS restarted my system, I got a BIOS error message stating "PCI Parity Error !" I changed the HD boot order and it worked, but Vista kept telling me to register. I did, and on reboot I got the "BOOTMGR is compressed" message. I tried this: attrib bootmgr -s -r -h del bootmgr ren temp bootmgr attrib bootmgr -a +s +r +h but when I got to the "ren temp" line it said it couldn't find the file. Now I got a "BOOTMGR is missing" error on restart. None of the suggestions given here for fixing that have worked. I have tried: bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup c: cd boot attrib bcd -s -h -r ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old bootrec /RebuildBcd Now even in the command line nothing works because it can't find the regular or temp bootmgr. I could install a fresh copy of Vista on that partition I formatted, but I have TONS of specialized applications on my old startup that I can't reinstall because they were one-day deals (from giveawayoftheday_dot_com). Please help if you can! I love all the MS Certified and otherwise favored techs here, and really appreciate any advice you can give. \Brett [edit]PS-knarfishness' suggestion didn't work as no right-click option is available in the browse window.[/edit] Last edited by brettv72; September 11th, 2009 at 12:39 AM. |

I replied because this was on topic and I didn't want to start another thread on a topic already covered here.

Yeah but sometimes you get more visibility in your own thread and some new eyes that havent looked at this thread in a long time if you know what I mean.

usaf_gunner is correct brettv72 so I have separated your posts from that topic and started a new one for you. Also your issue is not the same as the others posted in that topic. It might have been but unfortunately when you ran the below commands, you deleted your boot manager.
