You don't need a recovery disc. What you do is when turning on your computer, wait for the dialog and hit the DEL key. This will bring you to the BIOS menu. In there, you will find a setting to disable Fast Boot, save it then exit and your computer will reboot again. It should give you the option to change the boot sequence.
If you have your settings in the bios to boot from your optical drive you should be able to insert your windows 7 disc and choose to boot from it then just follow instructions.
I see you are having issue installing windows, getting an error the the Boot Manager is missing...
The windows Disc that you have is this a burnt copy? possible that the installation files on the Windows you have is incomplete.
But if I may ask before you tried installing this Windows what windows did you have on your computer?
Have you tried booting the disc directly from the CD drive instead of installing it from within windows.
Go into BIOS and change the boot configuration of you Computer make sure the the CD/DVD drive is selected as the primary boot option before the hard drive, once that is done restart your computer make sure that you Windows disc is in the cd/dvd drive, you should get a prompt on the upper left saying to boot from cd press any key - press Enter right away once you see that prompt this should boot from the disc for the installation to continue but if still it looks for the Boot Manager the copy of your installation disc maybe incomplete.
Also you can try to wipe clean you hard drive and try again again with the installation.
Try inserting the windows recovery disc and reboot the machine. At the language screen, bottom left, click repair your computer. At the recovery options screen, click on startup repair. This should recover the boot manager file. Reboot machine when completed.
Hi!
To fix "boot manager is missing" you will need an operating system disc. If you have one you have an option to repair the missing or corrupted file using the disc or you can also reinstall the operating system of your computer. What operating system are you using? Please let me know what operating system are you using to provide you a process of the repair or installation.
Thanks!
Creating recovery discs After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory image.
the recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.
you can often fix it right back up using the original Vista
installation disk. Which comes with a pretty extensive System Recovery
Tool that's got lots of options. Set your computer to
boot from DVD (using the Boot setting in the BIOS), insert the disc and
restart. Vista will prompt you for language and keyboard layout
options, then ask if you want to reinstall Vista or repair your
installation. You want Repair. From there Vista's System Recovery Tool
will take over. this is the only way to get back from the dreaded boot manager missing error.
