Win7nerd Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 im in a bit of a pickle.....i recently installed, well reinstalled windows 7 ultimate. and when i take the disc out after updating OR just generally restarting my blasted computer says my boot manager is missing? WTF!?!?!?! ive got to keep the disc in the drive for it to work right! ive tried repairing windows installations with the disc and all. BUT it says no errors detected when i run the repair tool. i was thinking maybe if i flah my bios will it hurt to do that? ive got a asus M2A-VM motherboard and im unsure what to do, keep in mind i HAVE burned the disc at slowest speed! TWO times.(sorry for the double post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Try this:Put the Win7 disc in, reboot, and "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD"Get to the "Repair your computer" sectionAt the System Recovery Options choose Command Prompt. At the command prompt type "bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us" (without the quotes) and press enter(Make sure "c:\" is changed to the partition you installed Win7 to)Reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeMasteR Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 A copy&paste solution. ^_^ You can rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment. To do this, follow these steps: - Get your Windows 7 installation DVD and pop it into your drive. - Then restart your computer. - Press a key when you are prompted. - Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next - Click Repair your computer - Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next - In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt - Type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press ENTER • If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation path of a Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes . A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully. • If Bootrec cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (Remember to press ENTER after each command) bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old bootrec /rebuildbcd - Restart the computer.

Win7nerd Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 heres something strange, ok i had to go into my bios settings and reset it, something having to do with the time, so i reset all back to default and BOOM all was well again.....talk about strange occurrences :huh: :huh: :wtf: my guess it had nothing to do with the boot manager, i simply reset(actually updated) my bios settings and all was well, sooooo all this command prompt stuff was in good faith but ultimately useless, i do thank you all who helped me! it hasn't gone unnoticed :D i no longer have to have the disc in, while booting up.i was a little baffled my self. :s :angry: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
