Over the weekend I installed Windows 7 professional, migrated from my Windows 7 RC install and enabled a RAID 1 mirrored array. Well everything went fine until i decided to enable the RAID. On my old computer you could enable an array claim a master and slave drive and 1 would copy to the other on initialization. This new computer did not have the feature so i would have to delete all the partitions on both drives. Well no biggie pull out acronis backup and make a image of the partition, enable, then copy the image back. Well in doing this it somehow did not bring over the C:\boot\ folder so upon bootup it says "Bootmgr is mssing. press ctrl alt delete to restart." I searched on google and found a few websites to help me out. 3 hours later and it now boots up just fine. You may not have such a hard time. My whole boot folder was gone, some of you may just have a missing file. In Vista and 7 the boot manager is a lot different a bit more complicated. Instead of the old boot.ini file there is now a BCD file that acts as a database with all of your boot information contained within. There are 3 methods that i used to rectify my problem. The thing was that between the 3 method it was method number 3 that finally worked sort of. Also i tried chkdsk /r and had to resolve a mirror conflict between the 2 drives int he RAID array so that was almost an hour and a half right there. Here are the 4 methods to try if you get stuck with any bootmgr or general booting problems.
