I've been running into a recurring problem over the last two years or so... which, if i recall correctly, only started to show up after I did the latest format of my hard drives.
In short, I typically leave my computer running over night. That'll be fine for about two weeks or so. Then, randomly, I'll go turn on the monitor and the only message will be "BOOTMGR is missing". Recently, the same message showed up during a reboot following a random BSOD (so I'm assuming that's what is happening in the dead of night).
My troubleshoot has been pretty simple. Access my BIOS during the boot sequence, see that my primary drive (the SSD with Windows 7 on it) is not in the boot list, reset to optimized defaults, see the C: drive back in the boot list, and save settings and reset to boot.
So it's something I've been navigating for years now, but it's happening more frequently. Any ideas on the software end that I could try to help remedy the root cause?
Thanks all!
