Hi everyone,
I have been reading through many forums online, with many different solutions to this problem, and I have tried some of them, however I am still stuck with the same error.
It might be helpful if I tell the whole story about the hard drives I am trying to boot. To begin with,my firend asked me to format his drives and install windows on one of them, so I took them home and did everything on my own computer, I have windows 7 64bit installed, so I have connected them both to my os and simply formatted them right clicking on the drive and selecting a quick format. I have unplugged my hdd, and put his drives in, then succesfully booted my win7 cd , installed os and I thought it's all done now. But when I plugged my hdd back, I did get boot mgr missing error. The only way I could bypass this was running win7 installation from the inside of os, using friends hdd..So I got my own drive up and running,later I formatted his drives once AGAIN using the same quick format.. When I tried to boot wn7 cd's (I have tried 3 100% working bootable cd's) using HIS computer and those 2 formatted drives I get the same error again .. boot mgr is missing .. Nothing helps here .. We have been considering just simply buying new clean hard drive, but before we do that I wanted to try getting help here .. We can not boot ANY cd's, not even repair disks, which I have also made .. So we can not enter any repair mode or command prompt etc.. Both drives are visible and completely usable on my PC, as a storage unit, but not for booting an OS..
If anyone has some possible sollution to the problem, I am happy to provide more information .
Thank you in advance
