Hey guys,

So I'm trying to re-install windows on my laptop via usb (it has no cd drive) and when I try to boot the usb from the bios, I get a "boot mgr missing press ctrl, atl, del" message. When I only had my original hdd installed, i could access it fine, but I had someone install an ssd for me so the os is on the ssd now. From what I read, is it true that the installed ssd is preventing me from booting up the usb? any ideas on what I can do?

no that's not it the USB installer you have is the problem...try creating another US installer with http://rufus.akeo.ie/ and make sure the file system is NTFS.
