trying to install windows 7 on new blank hard drive getting error message: BOOT MGR IS MISSING. if you google the problem everyone is saying to choose the repair option on the windows disc or to use a recovery disc but because the boot mgr is missing the system wont boot to the optical or hard drive because the boot manager is missing! any ideas? * +
