Fixing "BOOTMGR is missing" Error While Trying to Boot Windows Vista

Has your Windows Vista computer encountered  “BOOTMGR is missing” error. If the problem isn’t hardware related you can fix it, as long as you have a Windows Vista DVD handy.



Boot off the Windows Vista DVD and then click Next at the first prompt:


You should see a link in the lower left-hand side for “Repair your compute”



The installation process will attempt to find your Vista installation directory. If there’s more than one in the list, select the correct one and then use the Next button again.

Note: You have no OS to select? Solution select install instead of repair and it will detect your drive, select cancel and go back to the repair section, your OS will show up now.



Click the first link for “Startup Repair”



The installation process will repair the system, and then prompt for you to reboot.



Alternatively you could have chosen the Command Prompt option instead, and use the following command to fix the boot options only:

bootrec /fixboot



Remove the DVD and reboot your computer,  hopefully everything should be working.
