Yesterday, I woke up to a black screen "BOOTMGR IS CORRUPT"
I have a repair disk but all I can get when booting from that is BOOTMGR IS MISSING
HELP, Please
Hi carbonterry,
You've made backups, right?
Richard
All files are backed up twice. W7 had only been installed for a couple of weeks and I had not backed up the system yet. I know.....booooo
ooops W10 not W7
All is not lost if you have backed up your data. Simply re-install Windows 10 and a new MBR will be created. You can then use your backups to restore your files.
Of course, I don't need to mention that you should immediately make another backup after everything is in place.

I do not have a W10 InstallationDisk. I received an electronic update from W7 to W10.
A repair disk/usb only has gets the response of: bootmgr is missing
Download the ISO from Microsoft. Either burn it to a DVD or use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive.
If prompted during installation, then enter you Windows 7 product key.
Of course, you will need access to a working machine to set this up,

I have a bootable DVD and USB. When trying to boot= bootmgr is missing

If W10 is already installed on a drive then remove all boot devices and try hitting the F8 key at mobo post to bring up a boot menu. If the boot menu shows then chose your drive to boot. I say F8 because that is what my machines uses, yours may be different.
on it in a bit.............bootmgr missing again....no bootable DVD/USB in the machine at this time

Enter bios and make sure CD ROM is first in boot order and your boot drive is second. You may also try F10 for a boot menu.
DOne... the same result with recovery DVD in place...

What do you mean by a recovery DVD?
