Asus P7P55D Pro
Intel Core i5 750
4 GB DDR3 13333
Samsung F1 250 (as SATA 1) <-this is where I'm trying to install Windows 7
Samsung F1 500 (as SATA 2)
Samsung DVD/RW (as SATA 3)
2x HIS Radeon 5770 in Crossfire
Doing a clean install off a OEM 7 Home Premium 64 disc, the install gets to the step after "expanding windows files", I think it's "installing features". After that, a restart occurs ending in a black screen and the message "BOOTMGR is missing, press ctrl.... " and so on.
From the DOS console I can see that C: contains nothing, but it's "reserved for system files" or someting like that. D:, however, contains multiple directories (about 80 Mb worth) including windows. Running the repair tool off the disc reveals no detectable Windows installation anywhere. Poking around the drives and directories under DOS I haven't been able to find the bootmgr. What am I to do?
I've also tried unplugging the HDDs, plugging just the one in and isnstalling etc. but to no avail...
Please help!
