Ok, Old topic, as I've seen a few posts. I'm tryin to sift thru information here, but I figured it best to start my own thread.
Summary... My 73yr old Father did I don't know what to his pc.
MSg is bootmgr missing
I d/l the vista boot iso and burned.
Starts into vista repair counsole, but cannot find an install of windows.
tried the dos fix bootrec /fixboot & fixmbr. says complete, but still no joy.
there is a recovery partition.
Should I be trying the easybcd thing?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a pretty good part-time geek, but this one has me unhappily scratching my head.
