hi guys n gals
im tryin to fix a friends advent 9115 laptop, running vista home premium
she has the bootmgr missing error...the only options when logging on is f2 to go to Bios and F12 Multiple boot options.
im not sure how this error occurred she doesn't recall doin anything different just logged of one night n next day turns on and this appears.
i've tried downloadin the vista recovery disk but can seem to get it to do anything with it.
im burning the disk with toast or disk utility on my own laptop ( mac book pro) i have tried both cd and dvd with no luck..also tried same files on my usb key and my external n setting bios to read those drivers/cd first ....is there something im doin wrong or missing here.
she seems to think she created a disk originally when she got the machine ( possibly recovery ) but unfortunately its gone AWOL.
Any help appreciated , thanks guys n gals
