LAPTOP: CRAP ! CRAP! & MORE CRAP...HELP PLEASE
« on: April 17, 2009, 01:48:07 AM »
OK, HERE IS THE PATH TO MY CRAP.  I HAVE A GATEWAY AND IT PASSES THE HDD, THEN ON TO A BLACK SCREEN, WHICH SAYS, " BOOTMGR MISSING.

I HAD THE OPERATING SYSTEM DISK IN, SO I HAD THE THING WORKING UP TO THE POINT OF IT LOADING FILES, BUT AS IT GOT TO THE EXSPANDING FILES, IT LOOKED LIKED IT WAS DOING ITS JOB, BUT IT STOPS THERE, THEN GIVES A CODE.

I PUSH RESTART, OR SHUTDOWN. NEXT, START ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND IT JUST REPEATS ALL OF THE ABOVE.

ON THE BLACK SCREEN WHEN IT SAYS HIT ANY KEY TO PLAY CD OR DVD, I HAVE TO HIT IT, SO THAT THE LOADING OF WINDOWS HOME PREMIUM DOES ITS JOB (ALL OF THE ABOVE AS STATED), IF I DO NOT HIT ANY KEY AT THAT POINT, IT SAYS, "BOOTMGR IS MISSNG.

I USED REPAIR, RESTORE, AND BACK UP DISK, ALL DO NOTHING TO FIX ANY OF THE ABOVE.

I WAS ON THE COMMAND PROMPT AND EVEN TYPED IN SETUP, SO THAT IT LOADS THE DISK IN DRIVE D: I HAVE USED SO MANY DISKS TO HELP ME OUT, BUT NOT ONE WILL EVER CHANGE MY NIGHTMARE,

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE TRUTH, SO THAT I CAN MOVE ON AND GET OUT OF THIS PIT?

I CAN EVEN PAY........JUST SAY IT.......

IF NOT, THEN DO I JUST BUY A NEW ONE? THIS ONE IS ONLY 4 YRS. OLD. I HAVE PRECIOUS FILES HERE.

THANKS

Reno

    Manoman - Welcome to the CH forums.

    That "code" is probably indicating what your problem could be and from that code we might be able to come up with a cause and/or cure.  Please ensure that any displayed error messages are posted.
