Vista 64bit New build install - BOOTMGR IS MISSING

skudzy · 27 Sep 2007 at 18:23

Hi, I've just finished putting together my new build (finally!) and im trying to install vista. I had an error the first time i ran the installation because of ram settings but now whenever i try to run the install again it comes up with "BOOTMGR is missing". I try to boot from the DVD and it comes up with "press any key to boot from DVD" so i press keys and it ignores it and goes to the bootmgr error. Could it be because ive got a wireless keyboard that its not detecting it or is it something else?

no not really, do you have another dvd drive you could try, just in case the drive won't read the dye on the dvd.

How much ram have you got installed?

I've got 2Gb Ram installed. It did start the install properly last time but the ram power settings meant it wasnt stable. Since adjusting it after the crash it wont start the install at all.

I dont have another DVD drive either.
