Hello,

Bootmgr is missing leads the problems to running Bootstrap Loader. The only thing to get rid of this , just recover the bootmgr using recovery sdisc or network boot but i think you are home user and you don't have disk . So try to install VIsta or XP as you mentioned that you have CD . later on you can update Vista to windows 7.

As soon as computer is turned on the message bootmgr is missing press ctrl alt del to restart

There are a number of possible causes for BOOTMGR errors, including the most common "BOOTMGR is missing" error message.

The most common reasons for BOOTMGR errors include corrupt and misconfigured files, hard drive and operating system upgrade issues, corrupt hard drive sectors, an outdated BIOS, and damaged or loose IDE cables.


i strongly suggest formatting your hard disk drive, and reinstalling the recovery CDs

if you dont have them, get Dell to send them to you -- it will cost you money

Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop, my screen was full 17" but now its like 13" viewing area? What setting changed and how do I put it back to normal viewing?

There must be a key called "fn" in your keyboard. Hold on it and press the square indicated key in the f-keys at the top. You have shrunk the screen size. This must reset it.

Dvd r/rw on Dell E1705 laptop computer quit playing cds and dvds. Makes grinding start up noise but does not play

Hi,
Your system comes with on-board diagnostics. Run the diagnostics to check if the problem is with the drive or windows.

To run the diagnostics follow the steps below
1. Shutdown the system
2. Press the Fn+Power button together
3. The screen will display color screens
4. Follow the prompts until it takes you to advanced diagnostics
5. Do a custom test on the optical drive.

If you are unable to run the diagnostics
1. Find the dell resource cd that came with the system
2. Insert the cd in and restart the computer
3. At the Dell logo screen press the f12 slowly 5 times
4. Select boot from cd/dvd drive
5. Press any key to boot from cd .... message appears press enter
6. If the system starts from the cd .. this would mean the drive is ok

pOst back what were the diagnosis
Thanks
