How to fix Windows 2008 R2 BOOTMGR is missing
- by RichardTheKiwi
BOOTMGR IS MISSING
PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL TO RESTART
Note: This is a VM on VMWare ESX server, but that should not matter
I put in the 2008 R2 x64 install dvd and can get to recovery, but it lists no Operating Systems. Clicking on Next brings me to
+===========================
System Recovery Options
+===========================
Choose a recovery tool
Operating system: Unknown or (Unknown) Local Disk
.....
Command Prompt
I start the command prompt, go to C:\ and perform a dir /a
Apart from files I put there myself, these are showing
$Recycle.Bin
Documents and Settings [C:\Users]
Program Files
Program Files (x86)
ProgramData
Recovery
System Volume Information
Temp
Users
Windows
Where to go next? Is it like the NTLDR problem with Windows 2003 where I can just drop a file in there and it will be hunky dory again?
