| Hi. Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, I searched and read the other threads before posting and didn't see anyhting in the other topics either, although being new, I'm still finding my way around. I am new to Vista, I must say I really like it, if I could get myt problem resolved, I'll be VERY happy. I am a Graphic Design major, so my computer is my lifeline so-to-speak. When my son did this build for me we did it in stages and I'm pretty proud of where we are. However, huge issue for me- Vista will boot just fine IF I leave the original installation disc in the drive, if I remove it and try to boot it, I get the message in DOS "BOOTMGR is missing press CTRL+Alt+Del to Restart" this is very annoying. Anyone know how to 'fix' this problem or do I just shell out $60.00 to the computer techs that said they could fix it? My son told me to check here first.
My system is:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium x64
Intel Core 2 CPU 6300@1.86GHz 1.87GHz
4 G RAM
NVIDIA STRIPE 279.47G (2 150G RAPTOR drives)
250G Storage Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT SLI
Acer X191W widescreen monitor | |

Welcome to the Vista Forums
I found one solution related to the bootmgr issue from a Microsoft source. The error message is different, but it might be related to your situation. Take a look at Microsoft's solutions for bootmgr problems and see if they work for you. The link to the Microsoft solution is:
Error message when you start Windows Vista: "The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information"
Let us know if that works for you.
