  1. Stuck on a bootmgr issue, help needed


    This is the premise of what happened.


    I tried to free up some space from volume D to C but couldn't extend using disk Management. So I used ease us partition manager to free up space from D which got stuck at 95 % for some time. I closed it with task manager.


    I opened This PC and the space got deducted but neither showed in disk Management or ease us partition manager. So I restarted and got stuck in bootmgr is missing.


    So using a bootable windows media I tried using lot of bootrec commands, wasn't working. So I copied the bootmgr file from the usb to C volume.


    Then it came windows failed to start............ boot configuration I don't remember well. Then I tried some bcdedit commands and then it ended up saying this " an operating system wasn't found......... ". I don't want to make it worse


    Some of the commands that didn't work out for me are

    * bcdedit export ........ said "store operation failed , couldn't copy the files


    Can anyone help me regarding this ?


    I'm really stuck at this point and whatever solution I look up forms a loop like for a clearing problem 1 I should clear problem 2 and for that I should clear problem 1 this ex is just to understand, actually having like 3-4 problems .


    I have been really frustrated. The solution I'm thinking of as a last resort is :

    * Take a backup of both the volume either by opening notepad in cmd and copying the files using GUI , I don't have exposure using CLI what I can think of is, using cp command or robocopy-which I have to use for the first time and then format and install a new copy I don't know the formatting part

    That is it. Really in need of help.

    Thank you in advance

    :)

  3. bootmgr missing on start!

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to upgrade to Windows 10, which hangs and prompts
    bootmgr missing. We will help you to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you to disconnect all the unnecessary external devices connected to the computer (except the mouse, keyboard and the recovery media) and check.

    If you doesn't have a recovery media then you can create USB recovery drive from a working Windows 8 computer from the following link or contact your computer manufacturer for the recovery disc.

    Create a USB recovery drive:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive

    I would suggest you to follow these steps and try to fix the Windows 8 boot issue:


    • Boot from the recovery media.

    • Click on Repair your computer.

    • Click on Troubleshoot and then select Advanced Options.

    • Click on Command prompt and type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

    • Bootrec /fixmbr

    • Bootrec /fixboot

    • Bootrec /rebuildbcd
    5. Restart the computer.

    6. Check if the issue persists.

    I suggest you to install Windows 10 using the media creation tool and check if it helps:

    Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    For reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2622803

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

  4. Stuck on a bootmgr issue, help needed

    Bootmgr ??

    Hi BadrAl-harbi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This message usually indicates that the boot sector is damaged or missing. The boot sector is a region of your hard disk that contains information that is used to load your operating system. If a boot failure is
    detected when your PC is starting, you may receive this error message.

    Which OS are you are currently in?

    Did you try the same step to install windows 7 from a DVD? I suggest you to perform the steps again.


    • Insert your Windows 7 DVD into your DVD drive and restart the system.

      (If you did not make a "Recovery DVD", borrow a like version of the Windows 7 DVD from a friend).

    • Boot the PC using the DVD by pressing any key when prompted.

    • Verify your language is correct and click
      'Next'
      .

    • Select the option named 'Repair your computer'.

    • The repair option then searches for the Windows Operating System. Once it has completed click
      'Next'.

    • Under Recovery Tool, choose the option named
      'Startup repai
      r'.

    • Windows will "try" to repair your startup problem and will prompt you to restart the PC.

    • If you still get the "BOOTMGR is missing" error then repeat steps 1 to 7 again.

    • Restart your system to finish the process.
    Do let us know if you have any other queries pertaining to Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
