Bootmgr is missing on ubuntu and windows 7 dual boot
 
Hello, I was having a dual-boot configuration, Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 on the same disk. After resizing the windows 7 partition, after this screen
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/wp-content...13-575x431.png
and after selecting windows 7 , I get "bootmgr is missing" message. Ubuntu loads normally.
Here's my results.txt from boot info script:

Can someone help?

hi

can you name the program=tool you used to resize pls

1) suggest you load your windows disc and try either fixmbr or recovery and ntfs journal seems to have got corrupted probably thru resize tool

2) this will install w7 bootloader back into mbr and link to its booting file but normally fix the journal entry as well

3) reboot into windows to confirm its ok then

4) boot a linux live cd and run a special chroot to redo grub-install

http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1716.html

but change sda1 to sda5

good luck

Situation got worse. Tried to use bootrec /fixmbr from windows 7 DVD, now even ubuntu won't boot (grub boot loader seems to have been deleted). I am now booting from the ubuntu live cd. What can I do now?? Please help!!

spiderbatdad 04-10-2011 06:56 PM
maybe take a look a your partitions:
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
Should get you something like this:
Code:
  Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System
/dev/sda1              1        784    6297448+  12  Compaq diagnostics
/dev/sda2  *        785        6766    48046875    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3            6767      12845    48829567+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4          12846      19457    53110828    5  Extended
/dev/sda5          19235      19457    1791216  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6          12846      19234    51319548  83  Linux
In this case if I had lost my boot record and I know grub was installed on sda3 I would try this:
Code:
grub
grub> root (hd0,2)
grub> setup (hd0)
Notice sda3 is the equivalent of hd0,2. And so on. So sda5 would be hd0,4, and sdb2 would be hd1,1. Good luck.

There's a lot of inconsistencies here. Implies we're not being told everything.

At a rough guess I'd say you actually reformatted (rather than just resize) sda1 - which had all your windows boot files. Then deleted sda1. Then apparently (re-)run update-grub.

Let's see another bootinfoscript output as it is now.
