Hi all.
First timer, so please go easy.
Computer Spec:
Intel Quad Core 2.87Ghz
2 x 2GB DDR2 RAM
ASUS STRIKER II FORMULA ACPI BIOS REVISION 2402
1 64GB SSD drive (my C drive - operating system is installed on this)
2 x 1TB SATA hard drives.
Problem:
I've done a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. This is the 6th-7th time I've reinstalled due to the same problem.
Every time I boot up without the installation disc in, it comes up with BOOTMGR IS MISSING and instructs me to restart.
So far, the fixes I have tried are:
1) Startup repair - doesn't work. Does not detect problem.
2) RebuildBCD - does not detect any operating system. It says it has completed the operation successfully but above it it says "Operating Systems detected: 0"
3) Command Prompt:
D:
"copy bootmgr c:\"
then it says "The requested file cannot be found".
Still the same result, it won't let me boot without the installation disc in. It doesn't boot from the disc, it just uses the disc to get the file it needs (BOOTMGR) to boot the operating system. I didn't used to have this problem and then one time when I re-installed it just started. The hardware is all out of warranty now, so I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed without having to buy any new parts. I can use the computer - just not without the disc.
PLEASE somebody help me. There has to be a fix. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanking you in advance,
Ibrahim
