fauxhammer2 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hey fellas, I have a slight problem with my hackintosh. After I built the computer, I immediately installed windows 7 onto one of two 500gb hard drives. Then I started working on snow leopard. Snow leopard is now fully functional but then windows 7 gave me an error saying it needed repairs and to insert the install disc. I did and it tried and failed several times to repair. At this point I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall. Now whenever I turn the computer on I get the bootmgr missing error. After that I changed my boot priority in bios to CD first and then hard drive. This bypassed the bootmgr error but I still can't install. Any ideas or solutions? Here are some pictures of whats wrong: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artifesto Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 when i had this problem i booted from the windows 7 dvd, went to "Repair.." (whatever it is i cant remember) and then to Command Prompt and typed the following commands in this order; (hitting "Enter" after each") Try typing the following commands in order: "bootrec /fixmbr", "bootrec /fixboot", "bootrec /rebuildbdc". and then windows would boot normally for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahmood Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 use the repair manager in windows 7 disk before starting windows 7 installation in that way it will solve the problem with bootmanager and then u can start installing windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artifesto Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 that doesnt always work, especially if mac is installed, hence the disk will not see the bootmgr and will not repair anything, its best to just rebuild it and boot to windows then add mac to the windows bootmgr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
