dAiMantt 15 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) ^lmao?? So, I dont know shit about computers. And I have this old toshiba laptop which is perfect for editing videos on for school and stuff and programs like word. Because it was really slow I thought resetting it to factory settings was a good idea. I did all of it and when I restarted the laptop it said this that the bootmgr is missing :: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/a1qi1emes6lja/Camera Link should work(new to this mediafire thing) So I tried alot of things on the internet but I just don't understand them. And none of them works for me. Help me please! Edited July 9, 2016 by dAiMantt Quote Share this post Link to post
M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted July 9, 2016 Which way did you reset it to factory settings? Looks like you've wiped everything off of the hard drive - that message comes up when your computer can't find an operating system present on the hard drive. Quote Share this post Link to post

I dindt do it on purpose. But could be there is no os. How do i fix it? Do I just put the setup thingy disc in and install the os again? Quote Share this post Link to post

Popey456963 17 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Take a USB/CD, put an OS of your choice on it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9585/how-to-setup-a-usb-flash-drive-to-install-windows-7/ http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Feature/265470,how-to-create-your-own-os-install-disc.aspx Plug in, press your bios settings button (F8, ESC, DEL are all common). Set to boot via USB/CD first. Install the OS of your choice to your HDD. (As others have suggested, this was indeed caused by you removing your OS. Clever :)) EDIT: You still have the setup CD? Literally the first person I've met who keeps them. Congratulations :D Edited July 10, 2016 by Popey456963 Quote Share this post Link to post
M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) F9 is the standard key for boot device option. I personally use Rufus USB tool to create bootable .iso USB sticks. Load the software, select the .iso and press go. I've generated a link from the official Microsoft website that will allow you to download Windows 7 64Bit Professional. It will last for 24 hours: It is sourced from the Microsoft Tech Bench page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench Then uses a custom script to reveal more download options. http://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win7_Pro_SP1_English_x64.iso?t=26fa1c38-974a-4eac-bcc3-00f295f673e2&e=1468238529&h=39030bc378336fc4d3e4f5addfafaff5 Edited July 10, 2016 by Mintlou Quote Share this post Link to post
