BootMGR missins

[qwerty123412]

Hello, I currently have two hard drives installed on my PC first running fine, however the second one is completely blank and is missing the 'BootMGr' file and appears with the press Ctrl,ALt+Del to restart.

I have already booted via a windows disk, system repair, and gone through the command promt options of trying to repair and create a new bootmgr none of which are working.

Does anyone have any other advice I could try or is there a way I could copy it from my other hard drive and paste it into the correct place on my second (running windows 7 atm)

Many thanks in advance

You can't copy & paste the Boot Manager. I think you'll have to re-install Windows on the affected drive..

Hirens boot cd has a bootmgr fixer on it. I have never used it but I think it should work fine. Please try it out and come back tell us if it worked yah?

Thanks for the quick responses guys, I had tried everything already except for that CD. I had done a re-install previously that failed, however I created a new partition and did it on that which seemed to work and I can now get on there, just have to find all the drivers that I need

Many thanks!
