I get the above message on booting an HP 530 loaded with vista basic. It
belongs to the guy next door, he pulled a pendrive without releasing it in
software and off it went.
I have tried the recovery program booting from the HP vista disk provided
and also a vista boot disk downloaded from a help site with the same result,
no operating system is found and it does not find the C: drive.
I tried bootrec/fixboot and that said it was fixed but it still wouldnt boot
into vista giving the same message:
BOOTMGR is missing
press ctrl alt delete to restart
I am thinking about formatting the drive NTFS with an old XP disk and then a
clean install of vista onto the c:\ drive. Is this feasible?
Any other options?
TIA
