My laptop is shit recently so decided to restore it to factory settings and during the process it said unable to restore cause of an error click ok to restart computer. And every time I reboot it says "BOOTMGR is missing press Ctrl+del+Alt to restart" so I press them and it restarts and comes back to this message. So I can't do anything with it now + laptop Neva came with operating disc. So wat do it do?

You not made a back-up disc at any time before you did this???

Post screen should prompt with an option to boot to a setup partition, select startup repair from the options and this should resolve your problem

your windows boot manager is missing

Basically it cannot find the files to boot so cannot start or run windows

You can sort this by reinstalling the os there are other ways to et around i think you can use chameleon boot loader, there are other partition management program's which you can use I know of netbook installer but that's obvious for netbooks.

It won't get to this because the boot manager which is the partition manager is missing.

As the only mode compatible with versions of Windows other than XP
embedded, is RAM Reg mode. This mode places the EWF information into the registry, further
obsificating it from those who are unaware of the filter’s functionality.
EWF technology can be obtained from the trial version of XP Embedded, located on Microsoft’s
website. The files needed are: EWFNTLDR, EWFMGR.EXE, and EWF.SYS. For added security,
the EWFMGR.EXE application can be deleted, since it is only needed when modifications to the
overlay configuration is made.
Several changes to the operating system need to be made to enable EWF. First, the XP
bootloader (NTLDR) must be replaced with EWFNTLDR. The EWF system driver must be placed
into the %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers folder. Next, the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot , must be given full read/write
permission by all users. Once that is complete, EWF enabling entries must be added to the registry.
Once the registry modifications are complete, the machine should be rebooted. EWF is enabled
and all changes are discarded at power or reboot. It should be noted, that EWF is only
functional while the modified operating system is running. The disk will be writable when other
boot methods are used.

I'm not sure if its just me, but that sounds like utter jibberish?
I'm a techy and that makes no sense to me at all!?


OP- best, and SIMPLEST thing to do, would be to get hold of the OS disk... Which OS you running? Can possibly send you the link to a genuaine copy.

I'm sure what was mentioned earlier about startup repair works, I think I had this on my old laptop which was running XP at the time, think it's under the F8 menu. (Turn on your laptop and spam-press F8 till you get asked about safe mode etc.) Why people are commenting about Win7 is beyond me, he hasn't mentioned which O/S he is using.

Copy+paste for you.. .

See this document on page 3, you will see the junk he pasted is there.

Sure you can use any Linux distro to rebuild your MBR.

Thinking on it sure windows 7 has an option on the disk / .ISO.

It was a fictional piece! haha says on the first line its fiction.

[Manu]

had that one once before, just reinstall windows if you have the disc.

[Psycho18]

too hard to tell what's going on. O/S Disc or attempt to boot into command prompt and repair mbr

[hellonpluto]

BOOTIT NG is your friend.

Probably restored partition is not active and thus wont boot.

You can view the MBR in bootit and set the relevant partition to active.
