I was using my computer and tried to load up Battlefield Hardline, but it took forever to load. So, I closed the game and tried opening the storage device it is on. (The game is stored on the HDD marked (C: ), the OS is on an SSD marked (A: ).) It also took forever to load any files, so I restarted the computer properly. Whenever I rebooted, it gave me the "BootMGR is Missing" bull-"carp".
My OS set-up was odd to begin with, so here are the details. I had an OS on the HDD (C: ) and got a new SSD (A: ) to put a new one on. I attempted to format the HDD, but Windows nor any third-party software would let me for whatever reason. So, I proceeded to install yet another OS onto the HDD, so that I could delete the "Windows.old" folder and just have a minimal space-using OS on the HDD. Unfortunately, I still could not format the HDD, so I just left the plain OS on it, and had to choose which OS to use (SDD's or HDD's) everytime I booted, which wasn't a problem.
Anyway, back to the error. So, BootMGR is missing. I immediately go to a System-Repair disc I created using my laptop's OS (also Windows 7). I use it on the desktop, and it says it fixed it. Low and behold, the BootMGR error is no longer there, but now it says "Windows is starting", gives me the four glowing orbs, then shuts down. Upon restart, the OS tells me to use start-up repair again. It cannot fix the error either, and just repeats the same process.
The thing that I find odd now, is that in the start-up repair menu, the SSD is marked as (C: ), yet the HDD OS is not present.
In short, I had a BootMGR error, used start-up repair, it loads until the four glowing orbs appear, then shuts down. Now, start-up repair says it cannot repair the computer automatically and no restore points are available. What exactly do I do now?
