Good evening all.
I aquired myself an SSD around 2 months ago, installed Windows 7 on it plugged it in (took out all other hdd's) and upon booting up the computer I received "bootmgr is missing". I plugged my initial main drive in, which then allowed me to load the windows off my SSD.
I have tried all the methods of getting bootmgr fixed on my SSD but I've had no luck, hence the looooong wait since trying to fix it again.
Any help is appreciated, really want to get this issue fixed.
Most likely you have tried these steps:
From a Windows 7 install DVD - press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, then:
[code]
diskpart
select disk 0
select part 0
active
exit
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /scanos
[/code]
The trick here is to make sure the partition containing bootmgr is marked as active, otherwise bootrec will do nothing, or fail with "Operation not supported".
I think I needed a fresh start and a clear head when diving back into it.
After some much intense googling I came across this article which related heavily to me: [url]http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchingMyWindows7BootDiskFromDToCWithBCDBootRatherThanBCDEdit.aspx[/url]
"bcdboot c:\windows /s c:"
Worked exactly how I needed it.
I had tried your method previously with no prevail sadly. Thank you though for the help.
