How to Fix ‘BOOTMGR is missing” Error in Vista
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!
If you don’t have one, you can create a Windows Vista repair disk using this guide
Boot off the Windows Vista DVD and then click Next at the first prompt:
You should see a link in the lower left-hand side for “Repair your computer”
The installation process will attempt to find your Vista installation directory. If there’s more than one in the list, select the correct one and then use the Next button again.
Click the first link for “Startup Repair”
The installation process will repair the system, and then prompt for you to reboot.
Alternatively you could have chosen the Command Prompt option instead, and use the following command to fix the boot options only:
bootrec /fixboot
At this point you should be able to reboot your computer, remove the DVD and everything should be working.
