Hi guys, I'm desperate for help here please.
I have a partitioned 1TB HDD and as of yesterday after trying to run chkdsk on one of the partitions and it dismounting (and I tried to go to drive manager and "activate" that second drive again under what I thought were sound instructions despite windows warning me I shouldn't if I don't have system files on that drive) the computer no longer boots.
As soon as it starts it says BOOTMGR is missing, press Ctrl alt del to restart.
I tried to specifically boot from my win 7 disc so that I could repair the installation but the computer doesn't recognize it as a system disc. I made sure it has a proper boot sequence and goes to the CDROM first in the bios. It says it's not a valid system disc. Just to be sure I borrowed a friends disc to see if maybe there was something wrong with my disc but same results. I have tried disconnecting the HDD completely and booting from the disc. I can hear the CDROM spin and it doesn't seem to do anything for 30+ seconds but eventually says the same thing that its not a valid system disc.
Any advice please guys? I've searched for answers already and haven't found a case like this.
Thank you
