    Exclamation Help from IT pro's

    is there any way to reinstall BOOTMGR in vista?
    you can rebuild the boot in XP,,
    but in vista its all bcdedit stuff,,
    repair doesnt work,
    restore doesnt work,
    a reinstall of vista will format the drive,, NOT the option I am looking for,,

    will be online for another 45 mmins or so----

    G'day Pedro,

    I take no responsibility for what I'm about to say but....

    Looks about right.

    Is this the error message you get on boot up?

    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc0000034
    Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information

    no,, all it said was
    BootMGR missing
    press clt alt del to restart,,

    I have tried all 3 ways of repairing mentioned on the microsoft site,,

    this one
    cd /d c:\windows\system32

    it tells me "it" cannot find the path---

    I get the feeling theres a bit more missing than just the bootmgr

    hmm.. you didn't have a dual-boot system did you? Weren't running linux or something on another partition?

    It's possible (though fingers crossed it's not) that the file allocation table has been damaged somehow... had any power spikes recently?

    chkdsk the hard drive using the console boot option on the cd from the cd.

    sounds like a file system error to me

    ok,, during all my fault-finding yesterday I managed to create a new partition thanks to Inc's Hirens boot cd,, loaded vista on that this morning,,
    one- because I could,,
    two- because in my new heirachy I am building a designated Vista games partition,,

    so it couldnt hurt

    looking in MY COMPUTER on the new drive, it tells me the old drive is, well , empty!
    246GB of unused pink goodness.

    hmm, so, might as well create a normal vista partition. nothing left to save---



    when I loaded vista in this partition,, I was looking for an option to create a NEW partition,,

    but at THAT screen,, the option NEW was GREYED out???


    any more ideas???

    and thanks to GA and Inc for the help

    If it's a few corrupted files, could you boot from a linux live disk or a BartPE disk and copy the files over the corrupted ones?

    Probably no help.

    Cheers
