Bootmgr is missing (one of these again)

[Oblivionage]

Hello, I have finally constructed my new computer with my new msi z77a-g45 motherboard and I am having the boot mgr is missing error.

I have a copy of W7 in my optical drive that i'm trying to run (i didn't install msi drivers because i don't have a working HDD)

I have about 3 HDD's I've tried booting with. 2 already have an OS (Vista and W7) the other either has none or w7 most likely.

The vista one just boots up with either a launch startup repair option or normal launch option. I tried the normal option and it kept restarting the computer and since the repair doesn't work i just gave up with that hdd.

The other 2 have the bootmgr is missing error with w7 in the optical drive. I tried messing around the boot setting in my bios but that didn't seem to work.

Suggestions? Thanks

Are you set to boot to the optical drive? You need to boot to the optical drive and then the windows install prompt will help you format the HDD and install windows.

I may have found a solution but feel free to leave your suggestions to see what the issue could be. I tried changing boot sequence and that made it so i could format and install w7 on a hdd. Thank you for reading anyway. 😛


edit: welp i did the above haha i didn't see your post sorry.
