Fedora Installation :: 12 Windows Bootmanager - "BTMNGR Is Missing - Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete To Restart"
Feb 12, 2010
Though I kinda do wish that I could just fully migrate to Fedora (or Linux in general), I still do need Vista for some things (like, until I can get this mess with my tablet and speakers sorted out). However, when I tried to boot into Vista this morning (by selecting "other" in GRUB) it said "BTMNGR is missing. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart."
Will I have to use the Vista Home Premium installation disc to fix this? Surely, telling it to automatically fix startup problems would work, right? I'll try later today PS This problem could also be related to my other 'yum update' problems. All of my problems started when I performed a whole kernel update, so that could also be why I can't boot into vista.

I don't know what kind of problem it is. seems strange. I was used to using windows xp previously. Recently, i installed Ubuntu 11.04. i used ubuntu more than windows- rarely i peeped into windows. BUT, 3/4 days ago, when i tried to run xp, it only shows a message(on a black window/screen):
"NTLDR MISSING PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL TO RESTART"
If i press ctrl+alt+del, it only restarts and if i again try to run xp, it shows the above message again; BUT windows xp doesn't run. i don't know what to do.

Lost Windows 7 Bootmanager after Fedora. Need to Boot Windows 7 but am at a loss of where to begin. I simply want to use a Boot Manager (BM), any BM to boot either Win7 or Fedora at will. I can now only boot Fedora. I have read for 2 days and nothing is very straightforward or clear as to the problem and how to recover Win7. Everyone seems to be talking around the problem as if its a trade secret. I am not the enemy. I will try to write a simple straight forward post to assist others who wind up in this dilemma. Below is, both, a copy of my dirve's layout and my current Grub configuration.
Fedora 12 boots fine. Windows7 is NOT in the GRUB menu.
fdisk -lu shows:
# fdisk -lu
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x2afbc966

I just bought an Asus P50IJ-X3 NoteBook which came with Win7 pre-installed. On booting it up, it is taking me through a Win7 setup routine and won't let me get to the BIOS so that I can run my Ubuntu installation disk. It won't accept CTRL-ALT-Delete with the installation disk in the drive either.
Is there any way to get to the BIOS so that I can change the boot order and install Ubuntu WITHOUT setting up WIN7? At this point, I havn't done anything with the machine so aside from return shipping and the re-stocking fee, I should be able to return it. I'm afraid that if I go through the whole setup routine and write stuff to the disk, the vendor (Newegg) may not be willing to take it back.

Here's my problem: While choosing to compress certain folders from within Windows 7, I marked the boot manager as 'compressed'. Now, when I try to boot, I'm not able to boot into Windows 7, or any other OS (I get an error: bootmgr is compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to continue, which restarts the system and the same cycle continues.
I have a Windows 7 + open SUSE + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wubi install boot setup. To complicate things, its a laptop, and the DVD drive is conked. Is there any way I can boot into any of my OS's? If not using a live boot, can I, perhaps make a bootable USB flash drive, boot into it and uncompress the boot manager ? Note: I'm typing this from another desktop, and I do not have Windows installed on this.
/ed:
Used this: [URL]..questions/137877/decompressing-files-on-an-ntfs-volume-from-linux/137906#137906 Still no go, getting the same error message.

I'm setting up an Ubuntu server and I keep getting strange problems with my editor.I'm not sure if this is because my keyboard configuration is wrong or I screwed up the installation but regardless it's quite frustrating.
When using the movement keys (arrows and numpad) I get "[" brackets and "C"s, if I hold down or push down on the key hard a list of errors and text comes up, usually involving something that says something like:"Mount disabled" or "____ disabled press CONTROL-X to restart the shell"Similair problems are also found in vi (when in insert mode).I have been plagued with text editor problems and have need several reboots just to get out of a file, often because it just flat out stopped responding to keyboard commands.

I assume that I have not understand grub2 correct and need help.In the past I have used grub legency in the following configuration.SDA6 = 2 GB partition ONLY for grub as bootmanager.I have sda1-sda3 and sda7 to sda9 as system partitions.As backup I used TAR to an nas system and this way I could restore any partition from the tar file to any partition on my harddisk.The only part which I did manual was edit FSTAB on the recovered partition and modified the grub menu.cfg.This way my bootmanager was independent from any operating system and partition (except sda6).When I replace the harddisk, a recovery of grub legency was easy and after I copied the backup files back to sda6, I could continue to to restore the tar files and my system was up and running again.
Now with grub2 each linux installation thinks it is the master of my harddisk and takes over control from my sda6. Yes it discovers other linux versions etc but I loose control over my bootmanager.How can I use grub2 with an independent bootpartition (sda6) and how can I configure this bootpartition (sda6) from each installed linux partition? With other words no FIXED linux partition is responsible for my bootmanager. for someone asked why I need more versions of linux � the free vmware server 2 does not work on newer versions of linux. The latest vmplayer can not work with newer version of firefox. This is ONLY an example why I have more as one version of linux.

I run plop bootmanager - [url] to load live linux distros from the usb drive on the PCMCIA card. This is because grub2 doesn't yet support the pcmcia drivers and I wanted to make use of my old laptop.
I run the instruction on how one should install ubuntu on a usb stick from [url].
The process goes through when I see the live CD screen where it lets me try Ubuntu without installing. The splash screen comes up and all and remains there for sometime but after that it stops and then I get this error:
Its trying to search for my cdrom drive when it shouldn't as I have it on usb drive!

I've hired a dedicated Ubuntu10.10 Server on a remote colocation. I needed a GUI to be able to hook into my KVM guests, so I installed xubuntu-desktop.
My dedicated server provider provides me very useful free service. I can request a CTRL+ALT+DEL to my server through their web based server control panel, and I can boot into a live image from their network. This is vital for me to be able fix back configuration problems.
However after I have installed xubuntu-desktop (XFCE I believe), the CTRL+ALT+DEL no longer reboots the machine.
I've been struggling with this simple issue for quite a few days, I simply can't get it to work.
I've tried setting it through XCFE 4 Settings Manager. It does not work. From my understanding any keyboard shortcuts defined here are specific to user, so I think they'll not work when the server is in login screen (no user logged in).
I've tried to put control-alt-delete.conf files in /etc/init and /etc/init/d , neither seems to trigger reboot.

I write sources in VIM and i use the following settings:
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
And I have got some questions. 1:Is there any way I could do, so when I press backspace to delete an entire tab instead of individual spaces ? 2:Is there anything to do to delete a tab if I insert a closed curly bracket.
Code:
int main (void) {
} // <- and this one gets perfectly aligned

Content of the file is
# control-alt-delete - emergency keypress handling

# This task is run whenever the Control-Alt-Delete key combination is

I'm running fc10 x64 - latest updates. First I could never get wake on lan to work - spent days working on that one. Now, when I restart after a hibernate my eth0 is not re-enabled or recognized anymore. About to give up on Fedora.
I've tried service network restart.
I've tried unplugging cable and plugging back in.
I've tried init.d/networkmanager restart.
Only reboot works.
I've spent so much time trying to configure Fedore Core 10 for a Dynamips server and it's just not ready on some of the essential things like this hibernate problem and also wake on lan.

I just installed fedora 12 on my laptop. fedora is booting and working fine, but the problem is that now windows isn't booting. when I try to boot windows i get the next message:
"BOOTMGR is missing"
I looked at /boot/grub/menu.lst, and those are the lines for booting windows:
"...
title win7
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
"
then i checked with fdisk -l and verified that windows is actually installed on the second partition (sda2).the next thing i tried was to use the repair option at the windows 7 installation DVD. the problem is that when i try to preform a startup repair, the installation DVD doesn't recognize my existing windows 7 installation, and therefore wasn't able to repair it. if it's relevant, here are some more details on my machine:
HP probook 4310
windows 7 64-bit
fedora 12 32-bit
i have one sata HD which I devided into 6 partitions {a system partition of the laptop, windows 7 (NTFS), swap, /boot (ext3), / (ext4), /home (ext4)}

My previous setup was Windows Vista on partition 1, Windows 7 on partition 2, and my recovery partition on partition 3. I'm trying to switch from vista to fedora (cuz I hate vista), so I removed partition 1 and 3, expanded partition 2 a bit (from 80 gig to 150), and moved it all the way to the left with gparted. This gave me a 150g partition labled sda2 as my first partition. I then installed fedora on the (about) 150g of free space. After going into fedora, I used fdisk /dev/sda with menu option f to fix my partition labels. Now I have Windows 7 on partition sda1, fedora's boot on sda2, and fedora on a logical volume in sda3.
My issue is that I have that same old error bootmgr is missing when I try to boot to windows 7. I checked my grub menu, my fdisk, it all looks good to me, so hopefully someone can help me out. If I'm unable to do this without reformatting, could someone please advise me on a program to clone my windows 7? I have a lot of expensive programs on there that I could, in theory, go back to the manufacturer and request a new copy, but I doubt if I even have any license keys written down and I don't know where they would be, so hopefully I can pull them all off and have them work on a new install. Contents of fdisk -l and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst to follow:

I was playing with the mysql my.cnf file yesterday, trying to move my database files to my dropbox folder so I can use the database on my other machine. All I changed was the datadir setting to point to my dropbox folder. I also moved my mysql data files there.
When I tried to restart mysql and test the new location it said my mysqld.sock was missing. I searched and searched the web and my filing system for it but I have no idea what's happened to it?? I have even tried changing the datadir path back and reinstalling mysql but that doesn't seem to work either.

I thought it would be a great idea to make Ctrl+Alt+Del a keyboard shortcut for the System Monitor (counterpart of Windows Task Manager). (So it wasn't really accidental)I want to revert to default, how do I do that?
