Hi!
I bought a notebook with no OS, put windows 7 on it and then decided I didnt like the machine and that I'm going to return it. So I used the bootdisc to first delete the 100mb hidden partition and then using command from the repair options formated C: . Now, when I turn on the computer (without boot disc), all it displays that BOOTMGR is missing. When I boot it with the disc, I can access Windows 7 setup just fine.
Is that how it's supposed to be or do i have to do something else before returning it? (There were no personal files on that harddrive.)
Input would be welcome!
