I have an Asus EEE (it has no cd drive) and I've been using Ubuntu as my primary system. I was thinking about installing Windows XP though flash drive, so that I can dump Wine. I formatted the flash to ntfs, flagged it as boot and extracted the cd's iso there. Reboot, changed priorities in BIOS and it keeps saying "Missing BOOTMGR, press ctrl+alt+del". Now, from my search it`s a fairly common problem, though all of the solutions just say to reinstall from a cd or recover from windows, what is of course not possible. Do you think it's related to only this version (XP) ? Or is it global, so the same thing would happen were I to use Win 7? From what I've read this problem is solely related to Vista/7, not to XP.

I just tried to set up a computer for my sister running a 32GB XP partition and a 116GB Ubuntu partition.
Partitions are as follows:
/dev/sda1 (FAT32)
This partition is labeled "rescue" and includes an Ubuntu liveCD iso which can be booted

I am attempting to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix (I even tried Ubuntu Desktop) off of a USB drive. I use unetbootbin to prep the drive, my BIOS is configured to boot off the USB Hard Drive, after booting up the computer I get a message that reads "BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" This laptop is currently running Windows 7 which, after removing the USB Drive, boots up fine.
I've seen other posts on this but they all refer to dual-booting and modifying grub configuration files. I'm not even to that point yet (and don't even want to dual boot, to be honest) - I'm just trying to get onto the "LiveCD" so I can format and install.

Today I tried to boot up Win 7 but it appeared "BOOTMGR is missing" error. I boot from windows dvd, selected repair but it didn't found my windows install. I have to use rebuildbcd - didn't work, then mark my partition as active - I figured out that it was active and I marked it as inactive and now grub is also broken and I'm using live cd.

I use ubuntu 10.10. Everything was great until i formatted my C drive which had win xp. Now at startup an error message occurs instead of booting ubuntu (BOOTMGR is missing. Press Cntrl+alt+delete to restart). I searched a little bit and found that may be I need to install GRUB (boot loader). how do i install grub? using "fdisk -l" .. I found out that my bootable partition is C drive (NTFS /dev/sda1) while ubuntu is installed on another partition (ext3 /dev/sda3)!

I just got a new computer that has Windows 7 Ultimate, and I want to install Ubuntu to a partition that I created. I want to be able to re-add my Windows 7 to the GRUB, without erasing either of my operating systems. I have seen people that changed the menu.lst file, but got the BOOTMGR not found error. Will I get this problem? My computer came with one drive split in two partitions, WIN7 and DATA. I took 150GB out of the DATA partition to make a new one called Linux. So, how would I put Windows 7 in GRUB, but not erase eithr operating system, and will I get the BOOTMGR not found error?

Windows 7 wont start from the GRUB menu. After selecting the windows 7 entry I added to my '/boot/grub/menu.lst' i get an error saying BOOTMGR is missing. Both windows 7 and fedora 13 were freshly installed just yesterday. Win 7 first on one HD, fedora on another.
Heres some info:
Code:
Ger�t boot. Anfang Ende Bl�cke Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2 26762 15360000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 26762 35682 5120000 82 Linux Swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 35682 126504 52131840 83 Linux
[code]....
Windows is installed on my 200 GByte HD, sdc1 - and since Fedora is booting from sda1 and the menu.lst says root (hd0, 0) the windows entry should look like root(hd2,0), no? I tried a couple of different variations of my menu.lst, but i always got this BOOTMGR error. I read that mapping is not needed since vista, is this true? i can only enter the GRUB menu after hitting escape on start up, is there any way how i can have it starting the menu automatically?

I recently decided to do a dual boot computer running windows 7 and fedora 12. After running disc management in windows 7 and shrinking my main volume down so there was enough unallocated room to install fedora I rebooted and ran the fedora live cd. I then chose the option to install fedora on unused hard drive space.
After all of this I booted up fedora and everything ran great and I have access to all my windows files when I mount that drive. I restarted my computer and tried to boot into windows 7 and ended up with the error "bootmgr is missing press ctrl alt del to restart". Is there any way to recover from this and use windows 7 again?

Im running ubuntu 10.10 on a dual boot machine together with vista. When I tried to delete a partition in gparted I accidentaly deleted the general partition table so I had to run testdisk on a live cd to restore it. The problem is that once I had done that and rebooted I get the message bootmgr is missing. I suppose Testdisk deleted or overwrote mz grubloader.

I have read a number of threads relating to the bootmgr missing issue but I can't seem to apply the fixes to my specific situation, any assistance is most welcome; my details below. I have two HDDs
1 x IDE HDD running Fedora 12 which is allowing me to write this,
1 x SATA HDD which has win7 premium 64-bit, and up until the Fedora 12 instal, was the only OS.
Grub gives me two options for boot, they are: Fedora Other When I select 'Other' I get hte message :BOOTMGR MISSING My assumption is WIn7 located on my SATA HDD = Other what I might do to allow Win7 to boot.

I have a Fedora / Windows 7 dual boot machine. I went to a website that explained how to do it step by step with pictures. Except now I can't boot back into windows, which I need for work.I installed grub but don't know how to find it or set options. Total Newb) Windows recovery sees my installation but tells me that there's no problem with it, and I can find files in an image. When grub comes up it offers me boot choices, but Other takes me to a screen that says, "BOOTMGR is Missing" Ctrl-alt-del to restart.

I tried install openSuse on my HP notebook which had windows 7 installed, but due to some reason it failed. Then I ran into this "Bootmgr is missing" problem. Now there is no GRUB menu and I can't boot into windows 7.
And when I install opensuse, I mounted '/' to '/sda4/a' and '/home/' to '/sda5/b' and 'swap' to '/sda/6' and told opensuse to format a and b to ext3 and c to swap.I know my bad here that I was guessing to do these.
During the installation, it failed.

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:

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.

Rebuilt an old box of mine and changed up the drives. Did not think it was an issue as I was formatting the drives and reinstalling the systems. I installed XP first. Then PCLOS. After PCLOS was installed XP would not boot and gave me an error saying the BOOTMGR was not found and to restart. I figured that I just had to map the drives as XP was installed on HD1 and not HD0. But no changes I made to the GRUB configuration seemed to work.I have run a script to get all the information you guys will need already. Let me know what I am missing here
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive
in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb

I'm pretty new with boot loaders, and I'm having some troubles. I had Ubuntu 11.04 installed and working pretty well, but I went to give Fedora 15 a try. I thought dual boot would be ideal.
So I used some free space in my HD, installed Fedora 15 Live USB, / in one partion, and /home in another, and a swap.
I always use /boot in another 100 MB partition at the start of the disk, so during the F15 bootloader, I directed it to the /boot partition.
After reboot, I can get into F15, but when I select 'other' I get an error message (sorry, its hard to remember "boot img not found, press cntrl alt del " )
In a panic, I used an old boot cd, ubuntu 10.10, created yet another really tiny partition of 2.3 gigs from free space, and installed its bootloader in my /boot partition again.
I can boot back into Ubuntu 11.04 (or 10.10, which I will see nuke anyways.) But no fedora choice anymore at all?
Is there a boot cd/tool that I can use to read all 3 of my OS, and allow me to boot into the one I want?
Or should I reinstall a Fresh F15 (since i've not done anything) and make different changes during install ?
Any reason why F15 and Ubuntu can't see each other during their installs?

I have tried many things but none of which seem to work.
Motherboard : N2PAP-LITE
Processor : AMD SEMPRON 2800+ (32 Bit)
Stock FSB Settings : 166/333MHz
Chipset : NVIDIA NFORCE2
This is a really odd problem. It installs under 133/266MHz and runs fine. When it's at 133/266 it reconizes it as AMD ATHLON XP in the BIOS and the Linux Installation. I want to be able to install it using 166/333MHz which is the stock setting of the processor! When I set it to that in the BIOS it reconizes as a AMD SEMPRON 2800+ but will not install Ubuntu 9.10.
This is the error I get if I try to run it from the CD, Install it, or boot from the current installation which I installed it with 133/266MHz. If anyone can please help me figure this out it would be great, im trying to use it as a server and would not like to bottleneck it as it shouldn't be. I get these errors
Code:
check_bugs+0xbb/0xe9
start_kernel+0x2dc/0x2ec
? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1ab
i386_start_kernel+0x7c/0x83
Now if you want the whole error list I will type it up.This is a link for the motherboard manual.

I burnt a 10.04 LTS disc when it was released and just tried installing on an old Pentium 2 400 MHz with 320 MB and two 10 GB drives. After rebooting, it comes up in text mode with a tty2 login. Did this install the server version only? Is there a command to launch the GUI shell? There were no options during the install to choose GUI or server version and I assumed this was the 32-bit GUI version and the install disc ran we GUI during installation.

Friend asked me an interesting question today. We were talking about having a 'fallback' option in Ubuntu / other Linux distros so that if you wanted to default to stock ubuntu with none of your personal additions (excluding updates)and we came up with the idea that if dpkg / apt would install anything NEW to /opt, then you could go back to a vanilla install by just doing and then you have a essentially a clean install.
Out of curiosity more than anything else, we started looking around, googling possible ways to phrase that question and nothing came up. So does anyone know of a way to set that up?I know you can add /opt/ to your PATH variable so that you can put an executable there and BASH will find it. But I didn't know if you could do it for install things there by default.If nothing else at least it would give Ubuntu a more centralized place to install applications / view all parts of a applications because roaming through /etc/, /usr/, /bin/ and everything else that comes with the "AWESOME" Filesystem Hierarchy we still have is a pain.
