I recently purchased an used laptop from my mom for my children to use for school. The day I got it int he mail I booted it up and everything worked fine, so I decided to do a factory reset on it (Its a Toshiba Satellite running Win7 32-bit). halfway through it encountered an error and I have been tinkering with it ever since. Everytime I start it it comes up and says "BOOTMGR is missing, press ctrl+alt+del to restart. I dont have a recovery disk, but I made one using an ISO file I found online and have tried booting from it, but no windows installation is found. I have tried several methods that I found online, including on this forum, using the command prompt to no avail. I did order a recovery disk from Toshiba over 2 weeks ago and I suspect it was lost int he mail because it never arrived. My kids start school in a few days and I would really like to get this up and running. Also, I don't have a win7 product key because the sticker on the bottom is unreadable (why dont they laminate those tags?!) HELP!!
